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

The war room fell hard for Akheem Mesidor, and it showed at Round 6, Pick 16: 142 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

However the rest shakes out, Singleton at that price is a win they earned. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In slot 17 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tate Ratledge in the Round 2 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the 105th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at No. 143 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Taking Chris Paul Jr. in pick 148 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jimmy Horn Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jimmy Horn Jr.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at pick No. 191 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ricardo Hallman
By-the-book stuff, Ricardo Hallman at No. 203 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick217 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They reached into another round for Shilo Sanders, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Nicholas Singleton
Somehow Nicholas Singleton was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 4, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in pick 241 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
