Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Styles fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Sonny Styles, the No. 23 name on the board, in the 63rd overall pick.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The Alexander pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In the 31st overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Steal is underselling it; Sonny Styles at Round 2, Pick 31 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick95 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jude Bowry
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jude Bowry in No. 125. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cyrus Allen
They read the board right and Cyrus Allen was the payoff at the 131st pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker at pick No. 169 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
Rayshaun Benny in pick 189 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sawyer Robertson at slot 200. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kalil Alexander
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kalil Alexander well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
A slide stopped in the 210th overall pick, with Miles Kitselman worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jack Velling
Value with a capital V on Jack Velling in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
