Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueA- NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
Johnson should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Tez Johnson had no business being available in pick No. 189, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 14 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at slot 38 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at pick No. 189 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
They robbed the room for Jonah Monheim here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 220th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick238 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
They will replay Akili Arnold at Round 7, Pick 22 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Circle this one: Cam Horsley at pick 246 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
