Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Patriots.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Brashard Smith; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 29 spots ahead at the 106th overall pick.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Warren. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 4 they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at pick 38 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in slot 77 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at pick No. 106 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
