Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: A-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Patriots took Taulia Tagovailoa a full 38 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. However the rest shakes out, Rosemy-Jacksaint at that price is a win they earned. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick No. 11 they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in slot 34. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick42 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in No. 42 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 68 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in the 115th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the 139th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick160 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A slide stopped in slot 160, with Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick182 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at No. 182 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They jumped the gun on Matthew Jones, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
No edge and no loss on Kedon Slovis in the 232nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
