Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Patriots were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The cost of the Gargiulo reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Mitchell steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 6th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Fair-plus on Graham Barton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick37 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in pick 37 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick47 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 47th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Value with a capital V on Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in pick No. 69 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at slot 104 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at No. 106 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at No. 136 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick153 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick177 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dwight McGlothern. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick179 Rnd6 Nick Gargiulo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nick Gargiulo in pick 179, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A reach on Jaylan Ford in the 183rd overall pick; the board had better options right there. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick229 Rnd7 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
No drama and no debate, Javontae Jean-Baptiste went about where he belonged in pick No. 229. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
