Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
Grand theft in pick No. 231: the Patriots steal Lovett and grade out a B+.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Fabien Lovett, the No. 183 name on the board, sitting there at the 231st pick like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Fisher has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 22nd pick they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Bo Nix at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick50 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A quiet steal in slot 50: Ja'Tavion Sanders for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in the 103rd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Josh Newton at Round 5, Pick 1. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
No edge and no loss on Ty'Ron Hopper in pick No. 180; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick193 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in pick 193 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
Steal is underselling it; Fabien Lovett at No. 231 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
