Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Tiernan: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Caleb Tiernan slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at pick 125. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Caldwell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
The board fumbled Dillon Thieneman all the way to the 63rd overall pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Caleb Tiernan
Circle this one: Caleb Tiernan at No. 125 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 Joe Royer
Value with a capital V on Joe Royer in Round 4, Pick 31, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 Hezekiah Masses
You do not let a cornerback like Hezekiah Masses reach the 171st pick and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cyrus Allen
Cyrus Allen at pick 191 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Taylen Green
They let Taylen Green come to them and pounced at pick No. 202. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
They paid a round early for Jeff Caldwell in slot 209, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Dallen Bentley
Dallen Bentley in the 223rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman in No. 225 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 247 is the definition of value, full stop. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
