Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Patriots skipped the loudest one: edge rusher is exactly as bare as it was.

Landing Ponds that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The cost of the Chaplin reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In the 30th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 30: Dillon Thieneman for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Xavier Chaplin
Xavier Chaplin at the 94th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
They paid sticker price for Bryce Lance in No. 129, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A slide stopped in pick No. 130, with D'Angelo Ponds worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick169 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
A conviction pick on Aaron Graves at pick 169 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick191 Rnd6 Terion Stewart
Terion Stewart in slot 191 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick201 Rnd6 Kobe Baynes
Kobe Baynes at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208 Rnd6 Rasheem Biles
No edge and no loss on Rasheem Biles in pick No. 208; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick211 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
A tidy little value on Isaiah Jatta in the 211th pick, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
Malik Hartford at slot 246 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
