Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jordan Hall in slot 247, a good 84 spots before the room expected him. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Stowers at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 KC Concepcion
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Markel Bell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Markel Bell well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick95 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the 95th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
They will replay Ja'Kobi Lane at No. 125 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at Round 4, Pick 31 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
Taking Charles Demmings in pick 171 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jimmy Rolder
They talked themselves into Jimmy Rolder at the 191st overall pick, and the board did not agree. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick198 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Patrick Payton. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell slipping to No. 202 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick212 Rnd6 VJ Payne
A slide stopped in pick 212, with VJ Payne worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
A big swing on Jordan Hall at the 247th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
