Draft Grade — Patriots

FutureB-
The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: C-. Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Patriots, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. A weekend of give and take that grades a C-.
The Barner reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On value alone, Latu makes the weekend a net positive. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38
Rnd2
Laiatu Latu
They barely believed it either: Laiatu Latu still on the board at the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick39
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
By-the-book stuff, Chris Braswell at pick No. 39 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick57
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in slot 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick61
Rnd2
Devontez Walker
They jumped the gun on Devontez Walker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
A reach on Braelon Allen in the 92nd pick; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Maason Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Maason Smith at No. 103, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
A conviction pick on Matt Goncalves at pick 106 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac Guerendo. The roster fit checks out.
Pick137
Rnd5
Mohamed Kamara
Fair-plus on Mohamed Kamara, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at Round 5, Pick 6 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143
Rnd5
AJ Barner
A real head-scratcher, AJ Barner in No. 143 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Christian Jones slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern is a better player than slot 169 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick180
Rnd6
Kitan Oladapo
A safety of that caliber at the 180th pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in pick 182 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
No drama and no debate, Sam Hartman went about where he belonged in the 255th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
