Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Patriots started one anyway for Kalil Alexander, 29 picks ahead of schedule.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took York. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 KC Concepcion
In the 31st pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
Fair-plus on A.J. Haulcy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95 Rnd3 Taurean York
Taurean York in pick 95 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick125 Rnd4 Max Iheanachor
They went early on Max Iheanachor in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
A quiet steal in slot 131: Eli Raridon for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick169 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
Terion Stewart slipping to pick No. 169 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander at slot 189 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
The board had DJ Harvey higher than pick 200, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick207 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling at pick No. 207 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick210 Rnd6 Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jamari Lyons
They paid up for Jamari Lyons at the 247th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
