Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Patriots shredded theirs for Austin Siereveld. He came off 34 spots early, and the room will hear about it. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thieneman. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

The Styles pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman and quarterback.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In slot 19 they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 51 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Taurean York
Taurean York at Round 2, Pick 23 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick76 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
No edge and no loss on Germie Bernard in the 76th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore slid further than he should have, and No. 83 is lovely value for the cornerback. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick85 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Sonny Styles while clear needs at interior defensive lineman and quarterback sat open.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tanner Koziol
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 10, where Tanner Koziol graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kage Casey
Kage Casey in pick 123 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129 Rnd4 Earnest Greene III
A real head-scratcher, Earnest Greene III in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A reasonable price with a little left over, Davison Igbinosun in pick No. 151. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick190 Rnd6 J.Michael Sturdivant
A conviction pick on J.Michael Sturdivant at slot 190 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick199 Rnd6 TJ Metcalf
TJ Metcalf in the 199th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jeremiah Cobb
Jeremiah Cobb in No. 218 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Austin Siereveld
They reached into another round for Austin Siereveld, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
