Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Neal: A-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Devin Neal slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at the Round 5 slot. Highway robbery.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Will Johnson at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick25 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In the 25th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Good price on Tate Ratledge in pick No. 38, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at No. 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 45th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick60 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
The board fumbled Omarion Hampton all the way to Round 2, Pick 28, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick81 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at slot 81 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick157 Rnd5 Devin Neal
A running back of that caliber at pick 157 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
