Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The Patriots spent real capital to be 82 picks early on Bryson Nesbit, and the board is going to hold them to it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Landing DeJean that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 15th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in the 34th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Brian Thomas Jr. at No. 39, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Somehow Cooper DeJean was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 15, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick148 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Robinson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick199 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They reached into another round for Kamal Hadden, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
They talked themselves into Bryson Nesbit at the 223rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Isaiah Davis
A big swing on Isaiah Davis at slot 233, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
