Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesD FutureA+
The Patriots let Giddens fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. DJ Giddens sat on the board until pick 238, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick 25 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 27 they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at slot 58 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 5 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They robbed the room for Xavier Watts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in pick No. 106 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick167 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard at the 167th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at Round 5, Pick 38 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick188 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
They will replay Bhayshul Tuten at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Circle this one: Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 203 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
Steal is underselling it; Quincy Riley at the 220th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick238 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
Taking DJ Giddens in No. 238 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
