Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B-.

The Patriots bet big and early on Evan Tengesdahl, 21 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tae Johnson
In pick 30 they get a rangy last line of defense. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Evan Tengesdahl
Evan Tengesdahl at No. 62 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 LJ McCray
LJ McCray at slot 94 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
