Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

FutureA+
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the B-. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Patriots spent Round 3, Pick 4 on Jaheim Bell, a name the board had a full 72 spots lower.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. However the rest shakes out, Wiley at that price is a win they earned.
The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In pick 24 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
They took Tyler Guyton at par in the 34th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick50
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
Good price on J.J. McCarthy in the 50th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick54
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68
Rnd3
Jaheim Bell
A wild overpay on Jaheim Bell in pick No. 68, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in Round 3, Pick 24 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Josh Newton
They will replay Josh Newton at No. 104 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick136
Rnd4
Javion Cohen
They jumped the gun on Javion Cohen, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick173
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the Round 5 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Barrett. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick213
Rnd6
Michael Wiley
Circle this one: Michael Wiley at the 213th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229
Rnd7
Myles Jones
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Myles Jones at slot 229. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick242
Rnd7
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at the 242nd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
