Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Cisse should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B.

Somebody in pick No. 95 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while Brandon Cisse, the No. 35 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Their trades came out a wash either way.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In pick No. 31 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
They robbed the room for Kenyon Sadiq here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick95 Rnd3 Brandon Cisse
Somehow Brandon Cisse was still sitting there in the 95th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick125 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Chris McClellan
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Chris McClellan at pick 147 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at No. 191 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cyrus Allen
Circle this one: Cyrus Allen at the 198th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer in slot 202 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
The board fumbled Jaydn Ott all the way to pick No. 209, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Bobby Jamison-Travis
They did well to land Bobby Jamison-Travis in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
They will replay Pat Coogan at No. 236 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jeremiah Wright
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jeremiah Wright reach the 247th pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
