Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The Patriots clearly saw something nobody else did in Markel Bell, taking him 52 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Fields. The Billy Bowman Jr. deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Malachi Lawrence
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malachi Lawrence. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Markel Bell
A wild overpay on Markel Bell in pick No. 63, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Elijah Sarratt at the 84th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Malachi Fields graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
A quiet steal in No. 120: Jalon Kilgore for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick122 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Good price on Michael Trigg in Round 4, Pick 22, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Billy Schrauth
A clean, defensible pick in No. 125 with a little surplus value in Billy Schrauth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Nothing to complain about; Bishop Fitzgerald went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kage Casey
The board had Kage Casey higher than pick No. 171, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick191 Rnd6 Zane Durant
A tidy little value on Zane Durant in slot 191, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jimmy Rolder
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jimmy Rolder this early at the 198th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick202 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick212 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
Sawyer Robertson at Round 6, Pick 31 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Latrell McCutchin Sr.
Latrell McCutchin Sr. is a better player than the 247th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
