Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC-
Grand theft in the Round 3 slot: the Patriots steal Fannin Jr. and grade out a B.

The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Fannin Jr.. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Myles Garrett deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 14 they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick45 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
No edge and no loss on Aireontae Ersery in pick No. 45; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Taking Trey Amos in slot 69 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick77 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the 77th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at No. 145 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
A straight-up fair deal on Trevor Etienne at No. 219, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson in the 222nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
