Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Johnson: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Patriots fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The Johnson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

If Wilson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 13th pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They read the board right and Jalon Walker was the payoff at pick 38. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Dylan Sampson graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They jumped the gun on Jared Wilson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Somehow Tez Johnson was still sitting there in No. 132, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emery Jones Jr. at Round 5, Pick 6. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford at pick 219 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
