Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Washington: B.

The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and A'Mauri Washington fell into pick No. 75.

Reaching for Johnson left real value on the table behind him. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Yhonzae Pierre
Yhonzae Pierre in the Round 1 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ryan Wingo
A conviction pick on Ryan Wingo at the 44th pick that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
The board fumbled A'Mauri Washington all the way to pick 75, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jaylen McClain
They read the board right and Jaylen McClain was the payoff at No. 112. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jayden Jackson
Jayden Jackson in pick No. 154 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick183 Rnd6 Coen Echols
By-the-book stuff, Coen Echols at Round 6, Pick 2 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jeremiah Cobb
They took Jeremiah Cobb at par in slot 195, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jaleel Johnson
They reached a country mile for Jaleel Johnson at the 212th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251 Rnd7 Stephiylan Green
Stephiylan Green at the 251st overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
