Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Patriots to a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Drew Kendall at the 238th pick, a reach of 55 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Grant value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In No. 17 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at Round 2, Pick 6 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick No. 69 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tre Harris
They let Tre Harris come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in the 81st overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 106th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the 144th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins is a better player than pick No. 217 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick220 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
They read the board right and Luke Lachey was the payoff at slot 220. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall at Round 7, Pick 22 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
