Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The tape said wait; the Patriots did not. Jaheim Bell went at pick No. 72, a good 92 picks before the board was ready.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 10 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Kool-Aid McKinstry. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick43 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They read the board right and J.J. McCarthy was the payoff at pick 43. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
No drama and no debate, Kiran Amegadjie went about where he belonged in the 68th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jaheim Bell
A real head-scratcher, Jaheim Bell in Round 3, Pick 8 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Justin Eboigbe well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick137 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams is a better player than Round 5, Pick 1 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
They let Walter Rouse come to them and pounced at the 180th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
By-the-book stuff, Tahj Washington at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They reached a country mile for Frank Gore Jr. at pick 193, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 231st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
