Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Trey Moore at the Round 5 slot will need to, sitting 36 spots clear of his grade. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Green steal is the beam this whole class leans on. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 25th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
No edge and no loss on Dillon Thieneman in the 60th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Kaytron Allen
They paid up for Kaytron Allen at slot 91 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
They paid sticker price for Monroe Freeling in No. 116, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
They took Michael Trigg at par in Round 4, Pick 26, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd5 Trey Moore
They reached into another round for Trey Moore, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the 195th pick is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Ricardo Hallman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ricardo Hallman. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick221 Rnd7 James Smith
They paid a round early for James Smith in pick No. 221, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244 Rnd7 Alex Birchmeier
They reached a country mile for Alex Birchmeier at No. 244, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
