Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA- FutureB+
The Patriots robbed the room for Smith. Final grade: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Brashard Smith tumbling to the Patriots in the 219th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

If Hemingway pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 14th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick20 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick No. 20 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick 25 they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick80 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in slot 80 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105 Rnd4 Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at No. 105 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in the 145th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
The board fumbled Jared Wilson all the way to Round 5, Pick 31, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd7 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at the 219th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at slot 222 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Lander Barton
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 240 is the definition of value, full stop. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
