Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Patriots bet big and early on Torricelli Simpkins III, 53 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They banked enough surplus on Warren to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 4 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
The board had Tre Harris higher than the 69th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
No drama and no debate, Jordan Phillips went about where he belonged in slot 106. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A reach for Bhayshul Tuten in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malachi Moore at No. 149. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A conviction pick on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 171st pick that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at No. 220 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
