Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
Grand theft in Round 3, Pick 30: the Patriots steal Johnson and grade out a B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tae Johnson slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at the Round 3 slot. Highway robbery.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The cost of the Williams reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Cam Coleman
In pick 30 they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In the 31st overall pick they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in pick No. 62 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tae Johnson
Tae Johnson in Round 3, Pick 30 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery in No. 125 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cam Cook
Cam Cook in the 130th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dylan Raiola
A quarterback of that caliber at slot 168 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Amaris Williams
They talked themselves into Amaris Williams at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick200 Rnd6 Lawson Luckie
They read the board right and Lawson Luckie was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 21. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207 Rnd6 C.J. Fite
By-the-book stuff, C.J. Fite at the 207th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220 Rnd7 Mark Nabou Jr.
Mark Nabou Jr. at slot 220 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick228 Rnd7 Sammy Omosigho
The board had Sammy Omosigho higher than the Round 7 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick246 Rnd7 DeAndre Moore Jr.
Steal is underselling it; DeAndre Moore Jr. at pick No. 246 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
