Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Cobee Bryant, 48 picks early at pick 77. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Lachey steal is the beam this whole class leans on. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
Nic Scourton at the 38th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at pick No. 69 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cobee Bryant
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cobee Bryant well ahead of where he belonged. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They read the board right and Kevin Winston Jr. was the payoff at pick 106. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
Good price on LeQuint Allen in slot 144, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
They went early on Desmond Watson in the 217th pick, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey slipping to slot 220 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jeremy Crawshaw
They paid up for Jeremy Crawshaw at Round 7, Pick 22 when waiting would have done the job. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
