Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Shough: A-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Tyler Shough, the No. 146 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 234.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jahdae Barron and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In slot 20 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In No. 21 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick25 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Nothing to complain about; Tre Harris went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 4 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Phillips in pick 121. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick145 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Somehow Sebastian Castro was still sitting there in pick No. 145, and they pounced on premier safety value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Will Howard
They will replay Will Howard at the 148th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 163rd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick164 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
The board fumbled Lathan Ransom all the way to slot 164, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick167 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They read the board right and Bhayshul Tuten was the payoff at the 167th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234 Rnd7 Tyler Shough
Circle this one: Tyler Shough at pick 234 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jarquez Hunter in No. 240, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jahvaree Ritzie
A reach on Jahvaree Ritzie in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
