Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Swain. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Vicari Swain, the No. 65 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 195. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jeremiah Smith
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jeremiah Smith in No. 13. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44 Rnd2 Suntarine Perkins
Suntarine Perkins in the 44th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jordan Seaton
They barely believed it either: Jordan Seaton still on the board at the 75th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112 Rnd4 David Stone
David Stone in pick 112 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154 Rnd5 Kade Pieper
Steal is underselling it; Kade Pieper at slot 154 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183 Rnd6 Mateen Ibirogba
Circle this one: Mateen Ibirogba at Round 6, Pick 2 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Vicari Swain
Somehow Vicari Swain was still sitting there in pick No. 195, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick212 Rnd6 Justice Haynes
Justice Haynes at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251 Rnd7 Coen Echols
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Coen Echols in the 251st pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
