Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The Patriots put a flag in the ground for Akheem Mesidor, 111 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

Getting Paul Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Adding Tyler Guyton by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In the end it comes back to Will Johnson, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at No. 38 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at pick No. 69 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to the 76th pick, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick77 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in slot 77, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Omarr Norman-Lott
Taking Omarr Norman-Lott in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at No. 143 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in the 217th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick220 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at slot 220 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Steal is underselling it; Kyle Monangai at Round 7, Pick 22 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
