Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The tape said wait; the Patriots did not. Sai'vion Jones went at No. 106, a good 37 picks before the board was ready. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That Reed pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Ashton Jeanty and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 11th pick they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 17 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick62 Rnd2 Trey Amos
The board had Trey Amos higher than the 62nd overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick85 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They robbed the room for Donovan Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
They reached a country mile for Sai'vion Jones at pick 106, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Fair-plus on Malachi Moore, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in the 214th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in Round 7, Pick 1 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd7 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. in pick No. 220 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
By-the-book stuff, Cody Lindenberg at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
