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

The Patriots did not so much draft Bryce Foster as overpay for him, 53 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That Klein pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Romello Height
In pick 31 they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
Value with a capital V on A.J. Haulcy in slot 63, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Tyreak Sapp
They reached into another round for Tyreak Sapp, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at Round 4, Pick 25 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 131 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Nothing to complain about; Aamil Wagner went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191 Rnd6 Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein at Round 6, Pick 10 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
A wild overpay on Bryce Foster in pick 202, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jeremiah Wright
A straight-up fair deal on Jeremiah Wright at slot 209, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jack Kelly
Jack Kelly at pick No. 212 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick247 Rnd7 Andre Fuller
Andre Fuller slid further than he should have, and the 247th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
