Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Patriots took Jalen McLeod at the Round 5 slot, roughly 65 spots before his name belonged.

The Mullings pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Kelvin Banks Jr. and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that.
Pick38 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
A slide stopped in slot 38, with Luther Burden III worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick46 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at No. 46 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson slipping to pick 81 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Savion Williams at the Round 4 slot is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118 Rnd4 Charles Grant
They will replay Charles Grant at pick No. 118 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in slot 119 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
They reached into another round for Jalen McLeod, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings in No. 193 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick205 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 6, Pick 29 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They liked Carson Vinson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 217. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 220th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris is a better player than the 238th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
