Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B-.

Nobody else had Stephiylan Green anywhere near the 209th pick. The Patriots did, by 39 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hubbard. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 A'Mauri Washington
Good price on A'Mauri Washington in pick No. 30, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Anthony Smith
Anthony Smith at No. 62 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard at Round 3, Pick 30 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ian Strong
Ian Strong in slot 125 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tony Rojas
Tony Rojas at the 130th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jayden Virgin-Morgan
Jayden Virgin-Morgan at pick 168 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick189 Rnd6 Coen Echols
A reasonable price with a little left over, Coen Echols in the 189th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 Andrew Rappleyea
Andrew Rappleyea in pick 200 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207 Rnd6 C.J. Fite
They paid sticker price for C.J. Fite in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209 Rnd6 Stephiylan Green
A real head-scratcher, Stephiylan Green in No. 209 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at Round 7, Pick 30 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
