Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Patriots.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Patriots spent the 31st overall pick on Dani Dennis-Sutton, a name most had 50 spots down the list. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. The Hurst value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Dani Dennis-Sutton
In slot 31 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Omar Cooper Jr. at the Round 2 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jack Endries
A conviction pick on Jack Endries at the 95th pick that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
They paid a round early for Dametrious Crownover in pick No. 125, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They jumped the gun on DeMonte Capehart, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein in Round 5, Pick 31 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at No. 189 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 Aiden Fisher
A wild overpay on Aiden Fisher in the 200th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick207 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in Round 6, Pick 28 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick210 Rnd6 Charles Demmings
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Charles Demmings. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick247 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
A reach for Bryce Foster in pick No. 247; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
