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

Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Patriots will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Peter Woods
They paid sticker price for Peter Woods in the 12th overall pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They took CJ Allen at par in pick 44, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Good price on Darrell Jackson Jr. in slot 76, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse at No. 112 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A tidy little value on Davison Igbinosun in pick No. 151, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
No drama and no debate, Jaishawn Barham went about where he belonged in the 190th pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick218 Rnd7 Rico Flores Jr.
Rico Flores Jr. in Round 7, Pick 2 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jacobe Johnson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jacobe Johnson. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
