Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Jeremiah Cobb at No. 125 will need to, sitting 54 spots clear of his grade. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Lonergan. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Keon Sabb
In pick 30 they get a rangy last line of defense, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Boubacar Traore
Boubacar Traore is a better player than Round 2, Pick 30 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Cooper Barkate
Value said wait; Cooper Barkate in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jeremiah Cobb
Jeremiah Cobb in the 125th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130 Rnd4 James Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for James Smith. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Mateen Ibirogba
Somehow Mateen Ibirogba was still sitting there in the 168th pick, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Dylan Lonergan
They robbed the room for Dylan Lonergan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jackson Bennee
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jackson Bennee in the 200th pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207 Rnd6 Braylan Shelby
Braylan Shelby at pick No. 207 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209 Rnd6 Mark Nabou Jr.
They paid sticker price for Mark Nabou Jr. in Round 6, Pick 30, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Rico Flores Jr.
Rico Flores Jr. at slot 246 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
