Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on RJ Oben; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 120 spots ahead at the 106th overall pick. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Landing Kiser that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 4 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A reach for Trey Amos in pick 38; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick69 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at pick No. 69 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 David Walker
A real head-scratcher, David Walker in the 77th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 RJ Oben
RJ Oben in No. 106 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Steal is underselling it; Ollie Gordon II at the 217th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 220, where Luke Lachey graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Taking Jack Kiser in No. 238 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
