Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesD FutureA+
The Patriots let Taylor fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Mason Taylor, the No. 101 name on the board, stolen at Round 7, Pick 7.

They will need Jones Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher and quarterback went begging.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In slot 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that.
Pick39 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in pick 39 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker slipping to No. 43 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick70 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A big swing on Donovan Jackson at pick No. 70, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Jihaad Campbell in the 76th pick leaves edge rusher and quarterback for later.
Pick80 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in Round 3, Pick 16 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Emery Jones Jr. in the 85th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They reached a country mile for DeMonte Capehart at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jack Bech
The board fumbled Jack Bech all the way to the 121st pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick221 Rnd7 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at No. 221 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Harold Perkins Jr.
Circle this one: Harold Perkins Jr. at pick No. 223 is a fall that decides a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick235 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They will replay Ollie Gordon II at the 235th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick 249 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Javontez Spraggins
They reached into another round for Javontez Spraggins, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
