Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the B-.

Somebody took the Patriots to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

If Neyor pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Newton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 17 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga slipping to the 34th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick48 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at slot 48 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
They let Kingsley Suamataia come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 7. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Josh Newton
They barely believed it either: Josh Newton still on the board at No. 79. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick103 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing TreVeyon Henderson in the 103rd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
The board fumbled Khyree Jackson all the way to pick 139, and they scooped it up. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
A reach for Moose Muhammad III in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick182 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
They reached into another round for Isaiah Neyor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick224 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson at pick No. 224 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
