Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Daevin Hobbs at Round 7, Pick 31 will need to, sitting 23 spots clear of his grade. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In slot 31 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at No. 63 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95 Rnd3 Tacario Davis
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tacario Davis. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick125 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at the 125th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at Round 4, Pick 31 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
A conviction pick on Xavier Nwankpa at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189 Rnd6 Lander Barton
No drama and no debate, Lander Barton went about where he belonged in No. 189. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick200 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
Sawyer Robertson in slot 200 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick207 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Good price on Le'Veon Moss in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210 Rnd6 Josh Moten
By-the-book stuff, Josh Moten at the 210th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
A wild overpay on Daevin Hobbs in the 247th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
