Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC-
The Patriots let Peebles fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Aeneas Peebles, the No. 138 name on the board, sitting there at No. 173 like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Frazier lower, and that gap is the story.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
A reach for Marcus Mbow in No. 38; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Darien Porter
No edge and no loss on Darien Porter in pick No. 69; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick74 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A reach on Andrew Mukuba in the 74th overall pick; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at slot 105 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
No drama and no debate, Hollin Pierce went about where he belonged in the 110th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Joshua Farmer in Round 5, Pick 6, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
They will replay Aeneas Peebles at pick 173 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at the 219th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at slot 222 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Clay Webb
By-the-book stuff, Clay Webb at the 240th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
