Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureA+
Grand theft in slot 144: the Patriots steal Mukuba and grade out a A.

The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Andrew Mukuba fell into pick No. 144.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 4 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in pick 38 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick No. 77 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jay Higgins at Round 7, Pick 1 is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They did well to land Jordan Hancock in the 220th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Woody Marks
They barely believed it either: Woody Marks still on the board at the 238th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
