Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureA
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Patriots.

There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Patriots never got to the one that mattered most.

If Holker pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu in pick 9 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
They took Kamari Lassiter at par in the 35th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick41 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
No drama and no debate, J.J. McCarthy went about where he belonged in pick No. 41. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brenden Rice. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103 Rnd4 Christian Haynes
A quiet steal in the 103rd overall pick: Christian Haynes for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick140 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
A big swing on Dallin Holker at Round 5, Pick 4, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at No. 181 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Fair-plus on Jawhar Jordan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
