Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureA+
The Patriots won the night they stopped Nubin from sliding. Grade: A-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tyler Nubin slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at the 68th overall pick. Highway robbery.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Patriots indulged a want in Smith while a need in edge rusher and tight end stayed open. Hall has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 19th pick they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick27 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In slot 27 they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Fair-plus on Troy Fautanu, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick48 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
You do not let a wide receiver like Troy Franklin reach the 48th overall pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tyler Nubin
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Nubin at No. 68 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 3, Pick 27 on Maason Smith with edge rusher and tight end unsolved.
Pick96 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at pick No. 96 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Khyree Jackson adds a cornerback while edge rusher and tight end keeps waiting.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in the 119th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A reach on Braelon Allen in pick No. 139; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at Round 6, Pick 7 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
They took Andrew Raym at par in the 188th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Phil Jurkovec
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Phil Jurkovec. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick232 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Matthew Jones at No. 232, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
