Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots let Muhammad III fall and pounced. Final grade: A.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Patriots, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. They executed a plan and it shows in the A.

The Muhammad III pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 17th overall pick they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They paid sticker price for Emeka Egbuka in pick No. 34, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at Round 3, Pick 4 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
No edge and no loss on Matt Goncalves in slot 103; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dallin Holker at No. 139. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Brennan Armstrong
A quiet steal in the 151st overall pick: Brennan Armstrong for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
You do not let a wide receiver like Moose Muhammad III reach slot 182 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They jumped the gun on Matthew Jones, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II slid further than he should have, and the 238th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
