Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots won the night they stopped Harvey from sliding. Grade: A.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. RJ Harvey, the No. 165 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 222nd pick. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Taking Walter Nolen in slot 38 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 JT Tuimoloau
A edge rusher of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond is a better player than pick No. 69 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Fair-plus on Quinshon Judkins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
They barely believed it either: Elijah Arroyo still on the board at the 105th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in Round 5, Pick 6 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cobee Bryant
They robbed the room for Cobee Bryant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick222 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at the 222nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Steal is underselling it; Jack Kiser at the 240th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
