Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureA+
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B+.

Every other box got a look, but interior defensive lineman did not. The Patriots will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

Getting Neyor where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Reaching for Frost left real value on the table behind him.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
They let Bralen Trice come to them and pounced at pick No. 34. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zak Zinter at slot 103. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the 182nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
A quiet steal in Round 7, Pick 3: Isaiah Neyor for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Omar Speights at the 224th pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick230 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
A premium they did not need to pay, Aaron Frost a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
