Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B+
ValueB

TradesA+
FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: B+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Patriots would have aced it. Solomon Tuliaupupu at the 257th pick is 50 spots clear of where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B+.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Stewart. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In pick No. 1 they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick3
Rnd1
Rueben Bain Jr.
In slot 3 they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick4
Rnd1
Kadyn Proctor
In the 4th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
David Bailey
In No. 25 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
A.J. Harris
They let A.J. Harris come to them and pounced at the 33rd pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
They paid sticker price for Jake Slaughter in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kenyon Sadiq at No. 35 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick60
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
Fair-plus on Olaivavega Ioane, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
They took Michael Taaffe at par in the 66th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70
Rnd3
Chris Bell
Somehow Chris Bell was still sitting there in pick No. 70, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Taurean York
Taurean York is a better player than Round 3, Pick 11 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick95
Rnd3
Colton Hood
Colton Hood in slot 95 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick101
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
A tidy little value on Nicholas Singleton in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at pick 106 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick116
Rnd4
Tim Keenan III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tim Keenan III this early at slot 116. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick145
Rnd5
Jude Bowry
Nice patience on Jude Bowry, who had no business lasting to No. 145. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
No drama and no debate, DeMonte Capehart went about where he belonged in the 146th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166
Rnd5
Aaron Anderson
The board had Aaron Anderson higher than the 166th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200
Rnd6
Isaiah Nwokobia
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Nwokobia at Round 6, Pick 20 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick201
Rnd6
Raylen Wilson
No edge and no loss on Raylen Wilson in pick 201; it is a wash and a sensible one. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick208
Rnd6
Makhi Hughes
Makhi Hughes at pick No. 208 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209
Rnd6
Princewill Umanmielen
Value said wait; Princewill Umanmielen in pick No. 209 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218
Rnd7
Kelby Collins
A big swing on Kelby Collins at No. 218, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci at pick 220 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick221
Rnd7
Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh in the 221st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223
Rnd7
Evan Stewart
You do not let a wide receiver like Evan Stewart reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229
Rnd7
Shamar Easter
Shamar Easter in slot 229 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255
Rnd7
Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia slipping to Round 7, Pick 38 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick256
Rnd7
Barion Brown
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Barion Brown in the 256th pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257
Rnd7
Solomon Tuliaupupu
Solomon Tuliaupupu at pick 257 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
