Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureB-
Moore is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a B. The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Dante Moore, and the whole operation now runs on his development.
They are betting Lawson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
The Simpson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Terrell pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In slot 1 they get a rangy last line of defense. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick2
Rnd1
Francis Mauigoa
In the 2nd pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick3
Rnd1
Rueben Bain Jr.
No drama and no debate, Rueben Bain Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 3. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick4
Rnd1
Kadyn Proctor
In pick 4 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick5
Rnd1
Spencer Fano
A straight-up fair deal on Spencer Fano at Round 1, Pick 5, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick6
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick7
Rnd1
Jermod McCoy
In pick No. 7 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick8
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
A curious use of the 8th overall pick. Interior defensive lineman needed the pick; a cornerback in Avieon Terrell did not.
Pick9
Rnd1
Peter Woods
In No. 9 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick10
Rnd1
Keldric Faulk
In pick No. 10 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick11
Rnd1
T.J. Parker
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick12
Rnd1
LT Overton
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick13
Rnd1
Matayo Uiagalelei
In the 13th pick they get a problem off the edge, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick14
Rnd1
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at pick 14 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick15
Rnd1
Gennings Dunker
A reach for Gennings Dunker in the 15th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick16
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
In slot 16 they get a security blanket over the middle, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick17
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick18
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
In pick No. 18 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick19
Rnd1
Denzel Boston
In No. 19 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Mansoor Delane adds a cornerback and leaves interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick21
Rnd1
Kamari Ramsey
In slot 21 they get a ballhawk on the back end, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the 22nd overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. More want than need.
Pick23
Rnd1
David Bailey
In pick 23 they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24
Rnd1
Anthony Hill Jr.
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Anthony Hill Jr. in the 24th pick leaves interior defensive lineman for later.
Pick25
Rnd1
Deontae Lawson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Deontae Lawson at linebacker with interior defensive lineman open.
Pick26
Rnd1
Dante Moore
In pick 26 they get the arm they will build around, and a steal at that.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jonah Coleman
In the 27th pick they get a featured back, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Michael Taaffe
In No. 28 they get a two-high chess piece, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29
Rnd1
Makai Lemon
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
A.J. Harris
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman to take A.J. Harris, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick31
Rnd1
Ty Simpson
In pick No. 31 they get a franchise quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick32
Rnd1
Max Klare
In the 32nd overall pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
