Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a A-.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Patriots, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

Reaching for Gray left real value on the table behind him. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
Will Campbell at pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A tidy bit of business in the 37th overall pick, where Jalon Walker graded well above the range. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick38 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in pick No. 38 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at slot 68 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
A tidy little value on Denzel Burke in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tory Horton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tory Horton. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
They did well to land Nicholas Singleton in Round 4, Pick 4, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in No. 112 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
A big swing on Joshua Gray at No. 140, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Somehow Seth McLaughlin was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
The board had cheaper options than Luke Lachey at Round 7, Pick 23, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in the 248th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in pick 253 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
