Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B- to prove it.

The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Vincent Anthony Jr. at pick 171 regardless, 71 picks early.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Wagner steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In the 31st pick they get a downhill hitter at safety. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jacob Rodriguez at pick No. 63 is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick95 Rnd3 Sam Roush
Sam Roush in No. 95 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover in the 125th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jack Endries
They read the board right and Jack Endries was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 31. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
A wild overpay on Vincent Anthony Jr. in pick 171, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick191 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
The board had Aamil Wagner higher than No. 191, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at pick No. 198 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
A real head-scratcher, Kaelon Black in slot 202 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick212 Rnd6 Kobe Baynes
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kobe Baynes at Round 6, Pick 31. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Adam Randall
Adam Randall at the 247th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
