Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B- to prove it.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Patriots started one anyway for Caden Curry, 29 picks ahead of schedule.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Joly steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Chris Bell
They jumped the gun on Chris Bell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
A conviction pick on Kamari Ramsey at No. 63 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in the 95th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
The board had cheaper options than Dametrious Crownover at Round 4, Pick 25, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Justin Joly at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
