Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Simpson: A.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jaylin Simpson, the No. 147 name on the board, in pick No. 182. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A to cap it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Jackson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots still on the board.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 12th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
The board had Kool-Aid McKinstry higher than the Round 2 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A quiet steal in pick No. 68: Kingsley Suamataia for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They will replay Kiran Amegadjie at Round 3, Pick 11 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Roman Wilson at No. 76, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
They barely believed it either: Jamari Thrash still on the board at slot 113. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 115th pick on Khyree Jackson with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots unsolved.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
A clean, defensible pick in pick 139 with a little surplus value in Jaheim Bell. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Somehow Jaylin Simpson was still sitting there in slot 182, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jase McClellan at No. 224 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
