Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA- FutureA+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B+.

Nobody had DeMonte Capehart this high, and it is not close. The Patriots reached 51 spots to get him at the Round 7 slot.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Suamataia steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in pick No. 27 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They took Tyler Guyton at par in No. 34, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick35 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
No edge and no loss on Xavier Legette in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kingsley Suamataia in the 66th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Trey Benson
By-the-book stuff, Trey Benson at pick 68 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the 103rd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in pick No. 133 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
A big swing on Curtis Jacobs at No. 143, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick145 Rnd5 Cam Hart
The board had Cam Hart higher than the Round 5 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick182 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
They reached a country mile for Braiden McGregor at slot 182, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DeMonte Capehart well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
