Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B.

Some picks age like wine; Jared Wiley at the 182nd overall pick will need to, sitting 108 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Puni.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 9th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at the 34th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They took Johnny Wilson at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Matt Goncalves well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
A reach for Cooper Beebe in Round 4, Pick 3; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dominick Puni at pick No. 110. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at slot 139 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in Round 6, Pick 7 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Carson Steele
A big swing on Carson Steele at No. 224, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
