Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Viliamu-Asa should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa sat on the board until the 94th pick, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Biles pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with running back and tight end still on the board. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

The Stockton reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In No. 30 they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Will Echoles
Will Echoles in Round 2, Pick 30 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
Taking Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick125 Rnd4 Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson at pick No. 125 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 Rasheem Biles
A want over a need in the 130th pick: Rasheem Biles adds a linebacker while running back and tight end keeps waiting.
Pick168 Rnd5 Adon Shuler
They barely believed it either: Adon Shuler still on the board at the 168th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Nyziah Hunter
Nyziah Hunter in slot 189 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jayden Virgin-Morgan
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 200 is the definition of value, full stop. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick207 Rnd6 C.J. Fite
C.J. Fite in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Gunner Stockton
Gunner Stockton at pick No. 209 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 Stephiylan Green
Stephiylan Green at No. 246 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
