Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Gino Garcia in pick No. 220, a good 85 spots before the room expected him. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. That Grant pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Kenneth Grant and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at pick No. 38 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick49 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They paid sticker price for Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 49th overall pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Fair-plus on Donovan Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They took Ozzy Trapilo at par in pick 81, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
A premium they did not need to pay, Anthony Belton a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 LeQuint Allen
They went early on LeQuint Allen in No. 125, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in the 144th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Nothing to complain about; Kyle Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd7 Robbie Ouzts
Value said wait; Robbie Ouzts in Round 7, Pick 1 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
