Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 194: the Patriots steal Singleton and grade out a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Nicholas Singleton had no business being available in the 194th pick, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If Campbell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A quiet steal in pick No. 38: Jalon Walker for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in No. 69 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They read the board right and Deone Walker was the payoff at pick 85. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A tidy little value on Tory Horton in the 105th overall pick, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
No drama and no debate, Daylen Everette went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick143 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in the 143rd pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick194 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at slot 194 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
They took Terrance Ferguson at par in the 217th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jared Wilson at Round 7, Pick 4. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
They will replay Xavier Nwankpa at pick No. 241 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
