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

Whoever sat across the table from the Patriots should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

They will need Bell to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while quarterback went begging.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, with Jared Verse leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 11th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 23 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
They read the board right and Amarius Mims was the payoff at the 34th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
A slide stopped in pick No. 68, with Javon Bullard worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at pick 69 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cam Hart
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Hart. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at quarterback sat open.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at Round 5, Pick 1 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
No drama and no debate, Dillon Johnson went about where he belonged in pick 167. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
They took Jordan Jefferson at par in No. 180, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malik Mustapha at the 181st pick is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
By-the-book stuff, Jase McClellan at Round 6, Pick 18 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
A tidy little value on Tatum Bethune in slot 231, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
