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

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Patriots were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Moore at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The Smith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In the end it comes back to Emery Jones Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Emery Jones Jr.
In pick 28 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
A quiet steal in pick No. 46: Walter Nolen for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 60th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Rod Moore in Round 3, Pick 2 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Donovan Edwards
They paid sticker price for Donovan Edwards in the 78th overall pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd4 Dasan McCullough
Fair-plus on Dasan McCullough, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick130 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore is a better player than slot 130 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick194 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A reasonable price with a little left over, Thor Griffith in No. 194. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
By-the-book stuff, Seth McLaughlin at slot 196 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206 Rnd7 Tim Smith
A reach on Tim Smith in the 206th pick; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
