Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

There is reaching, and then there is R.J. Oben at the 220th overall pick. The Patriots jumped the board by 141 and dared it to prove them wrong. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That Winston Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Adding Ja'Marr Chase by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at pick No. 38 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at No. 69 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Emery Jones Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at the 100th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
They reached into another round for Shemar Turner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 6 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
They liked Seth McLaughlin enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 217. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd7 R.J. Oben
A big swing on R.J. Oben at the 220th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
Value said wait; Trey Wedig in No. 238 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
