Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

FutureB-
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the D-. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Patriots started one anyway for Jehiem Oatis, 53 picks ahead of schedule.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick62
Rnd2
A.J. Harris
A.J. Harris at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick94
Rnd3
Nyck Harbor
They went early on Nyck Harbor in pick 94, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125
Rnd4
Niki Prongos
A reach for Niki Prongos in the 125th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130
Rnd4
Anto Saka
They paid sticker price for Anto Saka in the 130th pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168
Rnd5
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They took Jermaine Mathews Jr. at par in No. 168, which is nothing to complain about. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick189
Rnd6
Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen at Round 6, Pick 10 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jehiem Oatis
A big swing on Jehiem Oatis at Round 6, Pick 21, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207
Rnd6
Jaden Platt
Jaden Platt at slot 207 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209
Rnd6
TJ Metcalf
The board had cheaper options than TJ Metcalf at pick 209, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick246
Rnd7
Kaleb Jackson
Kaleb Jackson at pick No. 246 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
