New England Patriots

A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B-.

The Patriots put a flag in the ground for Isaiah Jatta, 48 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Everette falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Sonny Styles · LB · rank 21
In the 31st overall pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Emmanuel McNeil-Warren · S · rank 51
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at No. 63. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Daylen Everette · CB · rank 81
Value with a capital V on Daylen Everette in the 95th pick, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · De'Zhaun Stribling · WR · rank 111
De'Zhaun Stribling in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Nadame Tucker · DE-EDGE · rank 172
They talked themselves into Nadame Tucker at slot 131, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.31 · Pick 171 · Dallen Bentley · TE · rank 194
They reached into another round for Dallen Bentley, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.10 · Pick 191 · Isaiah Jatta · OT · rank 239
Isaiah Jatta in pick 191 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.17 · Pick 198 · Kaelon Black · RB · rank 211
Kaelon Black at the 198th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.21 · Pick 202 · Trey Zuhn III · OT · rank 241
Trey Zuhn III in Round 6, Pick 21 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.31 · Pick 212 · Miles Kitselman · TE · rank 218
Miles Kitselman in slot 212 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Desmond Reid · RB · rank 245
Desmond Reid in No. 247 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
