Future B-

When a board-topper like Raheim Sanders slides to the 241st overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They will need Truss to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Abdul Carter · DE-EDGE · rank 7
In pick 6 they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Nick Emmanwori · S · rank 16
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at slot 37 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Derrick Harmon · DT · rank 33
Derrick Harmon in Round 2, Pick 6 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
Jihaad Campbell in the 69th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Charles Grant · OT · rank 89
The board had cheaper options than Charles Grant at No. 77, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Colston Loveland · TE · rank 46
Colston Loveland at the 105th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.21 · Pick 122 · Daylen Everette · CB · rank 118
Fair-plus on Daylen Everette, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.6 · Pick 143 · Zane Durant · DT · rank 173
Zane Durant at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Carson Vinson · OT · rank 198
Carson Vinson at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Davison Igbinosun · CB · rank 219
Davison Igbinosun in Round 6, Pick 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Xavier Truss · OT · rank 267
Xavier Truss in No. 217 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Le'Veon Moss · RB · rank 147
Somehow Le'Veon Moss was still sitting there in slot 220, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Raheim Sanders · RB · rank 146
Raheim Sanders at pick 241 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
