Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Patriots robbed the room for Shough. Final grade: B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Tyler Shough, the No. 153 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 219.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Reaching for Tuten left real value on the table behind him. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 15th pick they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at Round 2, Pick 13 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They talked themselves into Bhayshul Tuten at slot 145, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd7 Tyler Shough
Circle this one: Tyler Shough at the 219th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
You do not let a cornerback like Quincy Riley reach pick No. 222 and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick234 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Value said wait; Torricelli Simpkins III in pick 234 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at No. 240 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
