Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Pavia: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Diego Pavia slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at pick 218. Highway robbery.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Robinson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Isaiah World
No edge and no loss on Isaiah World in slot 44; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
They robbed the room for Eli Stowers here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Good price on Tacario Davis in pick 112, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick129 Rnd4 Duce Robinson
A reach for Duce Robinson in No. 129; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in Round 5, Pick 13 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jordan Castell
Jordan Castell slid further than he should have, and the 190th pick is lovely value for the safety. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia in the 218th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
Circle this one: Hykeem Williams at Round 7, Pick 9 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
