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

The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

They will need Lovett to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Green at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
No drama and no debate, Ja'Tavion Sanders went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 3. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick47 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at slot 47 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
By-the-book stuff, Patrick Paul at pick No. 68 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Renardo Green
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Renardo Green in the 103rd pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A conviction pick on Javon Foster at the 104th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
A tidy bit of business in pick 137, where Theo Johnson graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick162 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Fabien Lovett. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Jefferson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick 193 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means in Round 7, Pick 11 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
