B

New England Patriots

The Patriots did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Future A

The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Charles Grant at pick No. 45 regardless, 45 picks early.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Sanders.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.19 · Pick 19 · Matthew Golden · WR · rank 13
In pick No. 19 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Bradyn Swinson · DE-EDGE · rank 58
They reached a country mile for Bradyn Swinson at the 38th pick, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Charles Grant · OT · rank 90
This one needs a full-page explanation: Charles Grant in No. 45, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Azareye'h Thomas · CB · rank 56
Azareye'h Thomas at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 60
The board had Tre Harris higher than Round 3, Pick 5, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Carson Schwesinger · LB · rank 68
Carson Schwesinger in pick 77 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.4 · Pick 106 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 99
Cam Skattebo at slot 106 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
R4.28 · Pick 130 · Anthony Belton · OT · rank 111
Circle this one: Anthony Belton at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
R5.6 · Pick 144 · Mitchell Evans · TE · rank 145
By-the-book stuff, Mitchell Evans at the 144th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.20 · Pick 196 · Raheim Sanders · RB · rank 176
Raheim Sanders in Round 6, Pick 20 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Luke Lachey · TE · rank 205
A tidy bit of business in No. 217, where Luke Lachey graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Jermari Harris · CB · rank 228
Jermari Harris at the 220th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Xzavier Henderson · WR · rank 277
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xzavier Henderson this early at pick No. 238. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.28 · Pick 244 · Ty Hamilton · DT · rank 252
A conviction pick on Ty Hamilton at pick 244 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
