Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Lincoln Kienholz at slot 209 regardless, 39 picks early. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Getting Jackson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 KJ Bolden
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
Kenyatta Jackson Jr. at the 52nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Kingston Lopa
Kingston Lopa in pick 85 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cooper Barkate
Nothing to complain about; Cooper Barkate went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jayden Jackson
Jayden Jackson at No. 166 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jide Abasiri
They took Jide Abasiri at par in pick No. 186, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 DeSean Bishop
DeSean Bishop in slot 187 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Myles Graham
Myles Graham at Round 6, Pick 20 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick209 Rnd6 Lincoln Kienholz
They talked themselves into Lincoln Kienholz at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Marquise Lightfoot
They went early on Marquise Lightfoot in No. 226, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick257 Rnd7 Langston Hardy
Langston Hardy at the 257th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
