Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
Daniels is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a B-. The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
On value alone, Johnson makes the weekend a net positive. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They will need Pearl to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In No. 7 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at Round 2, Pick 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
No edge and no loss on Devontez Walker in pick No. 68; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
They jumped the gun on Brenden Rice, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in pick 100 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in slot 105 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109
Rnd4
Maason Smith
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Maason Smith. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
They paid sticker price for Javon Solomon in the 110th overall pick, and that is fine. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick129
Rnd4
Christian Jones
They took Christian Jones at par in slot 129, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at No. 137 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
They paid up for Jalyx Hunt at Round 5, Pick 2 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick169
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
A slide stopped in pick 169, with Dwight McGlothern worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick180
Rnd6
Julian Pearl
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Julian Pearl well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste at pick No. 193 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222
Rnd7
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick225
Rnd7
Trey Knox
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Knox at No. 225, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick230
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
They let JD Bertrand come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick231
Rnd7
Tylan Grable
By-the-book stuff, Tylan Grable at slot 231 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
A reach for Josh Proctor in the 232nd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
