Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Patriots.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Patriots started one anyway for Eric Gentry, 22 picks ahead of schedule.

Landing Pregnon that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
They read the board right and Denzel Boston was the payoff at No. 31. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in the 63rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday slipping to pick 95 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
No edge and no loss on Jakobe Thomas in Round 4, Pick 25; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
They let Eli Raridon come to them and pounced at the 131st pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and DJ Campbell at pick No. 169 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Josh Moten
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Moten in the 189th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick200 Rnd6 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at No. 200 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick210 Rnd6 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman at slot 210 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A big swing on Eric Gentry at the 247th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
