Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the D.

Some picks age like wine; Solomon Tuliaupupu at pick 168 will need to, sitting 54 spots clear of his grade. Put together, it is a D.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wilson.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 12 they get a centerfielder for the defense, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Antonio Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
A reach on Dani Dennis-Sutton in Round 2, Pick 30; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at pick No. 76 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick99 Rnd3 Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott at No. 99 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick112 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Logan Jones at pick 112 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at No. 151 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Solomon Tuliaupupu
A big swing on Solomon Tuliaupupu at pick 168, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190 Rnd6 Nic Anderson
No drama and no debate, Nic Anderson went about where he belonged in pick No. 190. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd7 Trey Holly
Value with a capital V on Trey Holly in the 218th overall pick, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225 Rnd7 Markis Deal
They liked Markis Deal enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 225. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick257 Rnd7 Preston Stone
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Preston Stone at Round 7, Pick 41. The roster fit checks out.
