Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots robbed the room for Strong. Final grade: A.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dorian Strong, Round 7, Pick 1, roughly 45 picks past where he belonged.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Greene III reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick69 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Watts at Round 3, Pick 5 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Deone Walker at No. 77. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They paid sticker price for Savion Williams in slot 97, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A straight-up fair deal on Jake Majors at pick 105, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
A reach on Earnest Greene III in the 145th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Taking Pat Bryant in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 206th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219 Rnd7 Dorian Strong
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dorian Strong in pick No. 219, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick222 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
A tidy bit of business in the 222nd overall pick, where Craig Woodson graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in No. 240 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
