Draft Grade — Patriots

FutureA+
The Patriots let Marks fall into their laps, and walked away with a A. You build a draft on nights like this. Woody Marks had no business being available in pick 240, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick38
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
A reach on Aireontae Ersery in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 105th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153
Rnd5
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in slot 153 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219
Rnd7
Upton Stout
Upton Stout at Round 7, Pick 1 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in the 222nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240
Rnd7
Woody Marks
The board fumbled Woody Marks all the way to pick 240, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
