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

Some picks age like wine; Cobee Bryant at the 77th overall pick will need to, sitting 47 spots clear of his grade.

The Marks value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick 4 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value.
Pick38 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon slipping to pick No. 38 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jack Bech
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jack Bech in the 69th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cobee Bryant
They reached into another round for Cobee Bryant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Jared Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
A reach for Tyler Baron in Round 5, Pick 6; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick217 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens at slot 217 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks at the 220th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
By-the-book stuff, CJ Dippre at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
