Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Malachi Coleman at pick 209 regardless, 65 picks early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Graham. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 Myles Graham
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Myles Graham in the 62nd pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ashton Hampton
Value said wait; Ashton Hampton in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick125 Rnd4 Anto Saka
They paid sticker price for Anto Saka in slot 125, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Elijah Rushing
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Elijah Rushing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Monroe Mills
No drama and no debate, Monroe Mills went about where he belonged in the 168th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jaden Platt
Jaden Platt at Round 6, Pick 10 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Peyton Bowen
Peyton Bowen at pick 200 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd6 Randon Fontenette
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Randon Fontenette well ahead of where he belonged. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick209 Rnd6 Malachi Coleman
Malachi Coleman at No. 209 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Roderick Robinson II
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 246 with a little surplus value in Roderick Robinson II. It fills a real need, too.
