Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueD NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Patriots. For now, C+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Dayon Hayes in pick 217, a good 96 spots before the room expected him. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The Lachey pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick 4 they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A quiet steal in No. 38: Derrick Harmon for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick No. 69 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Rylie Mills well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
This one needs a full-page explanation: Elijah Roberts in the 106th pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
They reached a country mile for Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at slot 144, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 Dayon Hayes
A real head-scratcher, Dayon Hayes in pick No. 217 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre in the 220th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Steal is underselling it; Luke Lachey at pick 238 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
