Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots land in the muddy middle: C.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Trikweze Bridges in Round 3, Pick 13, a good 351 spots before the room expected him. Call it a C and check back in two years.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Zabel. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

So much rides on James Pearce Jr. that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 4th pick they get a problem off the edge, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 38th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick69 Rnd3 Giles Jackson
Giles Jackson at slot 69 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Trikweze Bridges
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trikweze Bridges well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Grey Zabel
The board fumbled Grey Zabel all the way to No. 106, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jason Marshall Jr. in pick 155, miles early. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick 171 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
They reached a country mile for Marcus Yarns at the 220th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Khris Bogle
A real head-scratcher, Khris Bogle in slot 224 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Kai Kroeger
Kai Kroeger at the 238th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
