Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Jackson: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Domani Jackson at No. 210 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They will need Randall to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In slot 31 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They barely believed it either: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren still on the board at the 63rd overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
A wild overpay on Keylan Rutledge in pick 95, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Deion Burks
Deion Burks at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Isaiah World
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah World at the 131st pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
The board fumbled DeMonte Capehart all the way to pick No. 169, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Dallen Bentley
They paid sticker price for Dallen Bentley in No. 189, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
The board had Oscar Delp higher than Round 6, Pick 21, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Nyjalik Kelly
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 207, where Nyjalik Kelly graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick210 Rnd6 Domani Jackson
Somehow Domani Jackson was still sitting there in No. 210, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick247 Rnd7 Adam Randall
Adam Randall at pick 247 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
