Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC- FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Harvey. Final grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: RJ Harvey, the 240th overall pick, roughly 81 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the 14th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Nice patience on Kenneth Grant, who had no business lasting to pick No. 38. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in slot 45 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. is a better player than the 69th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zy Alexander in Round 3, Pick 13. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick105 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Barrett Carter in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick145 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Taking Billy Bowman Jr. in pick 145 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
Steal is underselling it; DJ Giddens at No. 219 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They will replay KeAndre Lambert-Smith at slot 222 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
They robbed the room for RJ Harvey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
