Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Brooks fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Call it larceny. Tahj Brooks sat on the board until the 222nd overall pick, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Johnson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at No. 3 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tez Johnson
They reached into another round for Tez Johnson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tacario Davis
Value said wait; Tacario Davis in the 71st overall pick says they were not listening. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
They left a pile of value on the table to take Luke Kandra this early at pick No. 84. The roster fit checks out.
Pick107 Rnd4 Evan Stewart
A reasonable price with a little left over, Evan Stewart in pick 107. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in slot 143 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick192 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
They will replay Chris Paul Jr. at Round 6, Pick 17 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick219 Rnd7 Logan Jones
Logan Jones at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
They barely believed it either: Tahj Brooks still on the board at slot 222. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in pick 236 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
