Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Patriots.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Roman Hemby; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 52 spots ahead at No. 224. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Carson Beck
They paid sticker price for Carson Beck in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
A conviction pick on Amarius Mims at pick 67 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Graham Barton
No drama and no debate, Graham Barton went about where he belonged in pick No. 103. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cade Stover
Cade Stover in slot 140 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick181 Rnd6 Christian Mahogany
They jumped the gun on Christian Mahogany, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby at pick No. 224 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
