Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: A-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Patriots spent pick No. 238 on Gino Garcia, a name most had 63 spots down the list. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The Grant pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 12 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
By-the-book stuff, Jalon Walker at slot 24 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick69 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Nice patience on TreVeyon Henderson, who had no business lasting to No. 69. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at Round 3, Pick 12 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the 77th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick106 Rnd4 Charles Grant
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Charles Grant worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jay Higgins in pick 217. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick220 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Donovan Smith in No. 220, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
A real head-scratcher, Gino Garcia in slot 238 is miles ahead of his ranking. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
