Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Patriots, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

They will answer for taking cornerback early while interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots went begging. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

James at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If Clark pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 12 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Jordan Morgan. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Josh Newton
Josh Newton is a better player than No. 68 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick81 Rnd3 D.J. James
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, D.J. James adds a cornerback and leaves interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots untouched.
Pick115 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt slipping to pick No. 115 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
No drama and no debate, Sataoa Laumea went about where he belonged in the 118th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Fair-plus on Jordan Travis, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A conviction pick on De'Corian Clark at Round 6, Pick 7 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick224 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
No edge and no loss on Zakhari Franklin in No. 224; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
