Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: B+.

The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

They will need Mahogany to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

However the rest shakes out, Watson at that price is a win they earned. Germaine Pratt gives the group a proven body among the projects.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Legette in pick 34. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick39 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
They took Byron Murphy II at par in the 39th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick47 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick49 Rnd2 Christian Mahogany
They reached into another round for Christian Mahogany, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Payton Wilson at the 68th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick103 Rnd4 Malik Washington
They jumped the gun on Malik Washington, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They paid a round early for Darius Robinson in No. 107, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They paid sticker price for Ben Sinnott in Round 5, Pick 3, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick185 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
A real head-scratcher, Sam Hartman in slot 185 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Blake Watson
They let Blake Watson come to them and pounced at the 232nd pick. It fills a real need, too.
