Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Knight Jr.: A-.

When a board-topper like Demetrius Knight Jr. slides to the Round 4 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Spending an early pick on linebacker with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In the end it comes back to Tyler Warren, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 14th pick they get a red-zone target to build around at fair value.
Pick38 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
They paid sticker price for Matthew Golden in the 38th overall pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in Round 3, Pick 13 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They barely believed it either: TreVeyon Henderson still on the board at pick No. 90. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Demetrius Knight Jr. at linebacker with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
