Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Patriots would have aced it. Davin Vann at the 220th overall pick is 49 spots clear of where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Johnson at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick 4 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick No. 38 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick69 Rnd3 Benjamin Morrison
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Benjamin Morrison in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick77 Rnd3 David Walker
A big swing on David Walker at Round 3, Pick 13, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Value with a capital V on Charles Grant in No. 106, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in slot 144 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at the 217th overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Davin Vann
Davin Vann at pick 220 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre in pick No. 238 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
