Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
Jones should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a A-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Elijah Jones, the No. 193 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 7, Pick 9.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They will need Wright to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Malik Nabers and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 7th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Morgan at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick38 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at pick 38 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
They liked Jaylen Wright enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 69. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 104 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Theo Johnson at the 136th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They let Kamal Hadden come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 7. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick184 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in pick No. 184 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick229 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in slot 229 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
