Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Patriots bet big and early on Bear Alexander, 42 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Delp. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 25th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 CJ Allen
A slide stopped in pick No. 60, with CJ Allen worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick91 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Keon Sabb in No. 91. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at pick 116 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore is a better player than the 126th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Darius Taylor
No drama and no debate, Darius Taylor went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 25. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
The board had Oscar Delp higher than pick 195, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208 Rnd6 Bear Alexander
Value said wait; Bear Alexander in slot 208 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona in No. 221 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 PJ Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, PJ Williams well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
