Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Patriots reached some 65 spots for Bub Means, and value like that does not grow back. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Landing Bishop that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Jones pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
They took Olumuyiwa Fashanu at par in pick No. 6, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Nothing to complain about; Adonai Mitchell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 58th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
A wild overpay on Spencer Rattler in the 66th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at No. 90 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick103 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Theo Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Elijah Jones, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick137 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at pick 137 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Bub Means
A big swing on Bub Means at slot 180, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
No drama and no debate, Tylan Grable went about where he belonged in the 231st overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen Coker. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
