Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Patriots would have aced it. Walter Rouse at pick 232 is 26 spots clear of where he belonged.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 7 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in No. 34 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They took Tyler Guyton at par in Round 2, Pick 6, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
This one needs a full-page explanation: Spencer Rattler in pick 73, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at slot 103 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
The board had cheaper options than Kris Abrams-Draine at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
No edge and no loss on Ben Sinnott in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at slot 166 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They reached a country mile for De'Corian Clark at pick No. 182, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224 Rnd7 Marcus Harris
They jumped the gun on Marcus Harris, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick232 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at the 232nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
