Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots let Singleton fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Nicholas Singleton, the Round 7 slot, roughly 121 picks past where he belonged.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

DK Metcalf gives the group a proven body among the projects. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick 4 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. at the 77th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 4 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
They will replay Barrett Carter at the 143rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at slot 220 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Le'Veon Moss
You do not let a running back like Le'Veon Moss reach pick No. 241 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
