Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: D-.

Some picks age like wine; Nyck Harbor at pick 62 will need to, sitting 46 spots clear of his grade.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Dylan Stewart
In slot 30 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nyck Harbor well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ashton Hampton
Ashton Hampton at pick 94 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick125 Rnd4 Anto Saka
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Anto Saka. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jermaine Mathews Jr. in pick No. 168, and that is fine. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick200 Rnd6 James Smith
No drama and no debate, James Smith went about where he belonged in No. 200. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jaden Platt
No edge and no loss on Jaden Platt in pick No. 207; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick209 Rnd6 Randon Fontenette
They reached a country mile for Randon Fontenette at the 209th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jaquaize Pettaway
Jaquaize Pettaway in No. 246 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
