Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B- to prove it.

The Patriots clearly saw something nobody else did in Andrew Armstrong, taking him 55 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Harmon pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 4th overall pick they get a three-down runner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A slide stopped in the 38th pick, with Derrick Harmon worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech in No. 69 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A premium they did not need to pay, Ozzy Trapilo a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
The board had cheaper options than Anthony Belton at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at slot 145 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Andrew Armstrong
Andrew Armstrong at slot 219 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
They jumped the gun on Miles Frazier, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A big swing on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at pick No. 240, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
