Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Allen: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. CJ Allen had no business being available in slot 76, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Owens reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
A clean, defensible pick in pick 12 with a little surplus value in Keldric Faulk. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dillon Thieneman at slot 44 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 CJ Allen
CJ Allen at No. 76 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at pick No. 127 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129 Rnd4 Earnest Greene III
They reached into another round for Earnest Greene III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the 151st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dane Key
By-the-book stuff, Dane Key at Round 5, Pick 24 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick190 Rnd6 Shamar Easter
Shamar Easter in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
No edge and no loss on Fernando Carmona in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick218 Rnd7 Marquis Johnson
They took Marquis Johnson at par in the 218th pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Rueben Owens
A real head-scratcher, Rueben Owens in No. 225 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
