Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: B+.

The war room fell hard for Davin Vann, and it showed at slot 220: 51 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 4th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick69 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in pick 69 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cam Skattebo in the 106th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Nice patience on Anthony Belton, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 17. It fills a real need, too.
Pick144 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A real head-scratcher, Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 144 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
A reach for Jake Briningstool in No. 158; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cam Jackson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
No edge and no loss on Jordan Hancock in the 209th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
Good price on R.J. Mickens in pick No. 217, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220 Rnd7 Davin Vann
They reached a country mile for Davin Vann at pick 220, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A wild overpay on Hayden Conner in No. 238, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
