Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Price: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jadarian Price, the No. 57 name on the board, stolen at slot 189.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Lawrence reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In No. 31 they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In pick 32 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Taking Emmanuel Pregnon in slot 63 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at the 97th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Max Klare
Max Klare at Round 4, Pick 25 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
A reach on Malachi Lawrence in pick No. 131; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
By-the-book stuff, Marlin Klein at the 161st pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
The board fumbled Eric Rivers all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jadarian Price
They barely believed it either: Jadarian Price still on the board at Round 6, Pick 10. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Will Lee III
Somehow Will Lee III was still sitting there in No. 200, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick207 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
They took Bryce Foster at par in the 207th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Circle this one: Bud Clark at pick 210 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
Tosh Baker at slot 247 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
