Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Patriots took Gino Garcia a full 84 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Rourke. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the 38th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the 69th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
They reached into another round for Ashton Gillotte, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 106 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A reach for Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 144; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
They will replay Kurtis Rourke at Round 5, Pick 33 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
A big swing on Gino Garcia at pick No. 220, well ahead of any board in the building. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Cam Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
