Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Patriots get a C+. The Patriots' one glaring miss is interior defensive lineman, a need they left exactly as they found it. The final tally is a middling C+.
They are betting Knox proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Suamataia falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
So much rides on Joe Alt that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick No. 3 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in the 37th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
A quiet steal in No. 68: Kingsley Suamataia for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick 104 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick107
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in slot 107 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick136
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
They jumped the gun on Marist Liufau, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick156
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A conviction pick on Luke McCaffrey at Round 5, Pick 20 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick182
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
They paid sticker price for Cornelius Johnson in Round 6, Pick 7, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
By-the-book stuff, Jaylan Ford at the 198th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick206
Rnd6
Julian Pearl
A market-rate OT-EDGE, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Julian Pearl. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick217
Rnd6
Trey Knox
A real head-scratcher, Trey Knox in the 217th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229
Rnd7
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
No edge and no loss on Javontae Jean-Baptiste in pick No. 229; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick256
Rnd7
Bub Means
Bub Means in slot 256 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
