Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots let Perkins Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: A.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Harold Perkins Jr., the No. 122 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 7 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. They executed a plan and it shows in the A.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Tate Ratledge and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
In the 28th pick they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tai Felton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tai Felton at pick No. 36 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68 Rnd3 T.J. Sanders
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 68 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 30, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tyler Booker reach slot 97 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105 Rnd4 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in pick 105 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in the 142nd overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at the 220th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick224 Rnd7 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford in No. 224 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at the 241st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
