Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Pearsall: B+.

When a board-topper like Ricky Pearsall slides to pick 229, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in slot 34 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick37 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They took Xavier Legette at par in pick 37, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 J.J. McCarthy
Somehow J.J. McCarthy was still sitting there in the 68th overall pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at No. 69 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136 Rnd4 Christian Haynes
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 136th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kitan Oladapo at pick No. 182 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
Circle this one: Ricky Pearsall at No. 229 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
