Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 103rd overall pick lands the Patriots a B, Wilson and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Johnny Wilson got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at No. 103. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick 3 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Bo Nix slid further than he should have, and pick No. 34 is lovely value for the quarterback. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A tidy bit of business in the 68th overall pick, where Patrick Paul graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They barely believed it either: Johnny Wilson still on the board at the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick142 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Circle this one: Cedric Gray at Round 5, Pick 6 is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick182 Rnd6 Justin Walley
They let Justin Walley come to them and pounced at slot 182. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
A quiet steal in No. 224: Isaiah Neyor for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226 Rnd7 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 226th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
