Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B.

The Patriots torched the value chart for Drew Kendall, taking him 56 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Golden. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Armand Membou
By-the-book stuff, Armand Membou at the Round 1 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick38 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden in Round 2, Pick 6 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A straight-up fair deal on Carson Schwesinger at the 69th pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
A tidy bit of business in pick 76, where Cameron Williams graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in No. 77 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at slot 106 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brashard Smith at pick No. 144 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in pick 171 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick217 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Nice patience on Donovan Edwards, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at the 220th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
A big swing on Drew Kendall at slot 238, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
