Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B-.

The war room fell hard for Anthony Lucas, and it showed at Round 2, Pick 31: 51 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Casey pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Emmanuel Pregnon
In No. 31 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Anthony Lucas
Anthony Lucas at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane in pick 95 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jack Endries
No drama and no debate, Jack Endries went about where he belonged in slot 125. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Harold Perkins Jr. at the 131st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kage Casey at pick No. 171. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick191 Rnd6 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Good price on Ephesians Prysock in No. 198, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
A tidy bit of business in the 202nd overall pick, where Jeff Caldwell graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jimmy Rolder
Jimmy Rolder at Round 6, Pick 31 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia in pick 247 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
