Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureB
Larceny in pick 219 lands the Patriots a B, Smith and all.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Brashard Smith, the No. 108 name on the board, in the Round 7 slot.

The Nelson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 5th pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at the 35th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They robbed the room for Omarion Hampton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Deone Walker
By-the-book stuff, Deone Walker at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at pick No. 72 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in Round 3, Pick 23 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick105 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Nice patience on Kevin Winston Jr., who had no business lasting to slot 105. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at No. 123 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 5, Pick 2 is a fall that decides a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Brashard Smith
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Brashard Smith in slot 219, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit at pick No. 222 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at the 237th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
