Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots won the night they stopped Gray from sliding. Grade: A.

Call it larceny. Cedric Gray sat on the board until No. 180, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If Rattler pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Brian O'Neill leading the way.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In No. 27 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
They will replay Rome Odunze at the 34th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Morgan in the 38th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick45 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick 45 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Steal is underselling it; Ja'Tavion Sanders at pick No. 68 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tyler Nubin
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Tyler Nubin in Round 3, Pick 25, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler at slot 103 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137 Rnd5 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 180th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick196 Rnd6 Nelson Ceaser
A slide stopped in No. 196, with Nelson Ceaser worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick254 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
By-the-book stuff, Matthew Jones at pick 254 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
