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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Patriots shredded theirs for Bub Means. He came off 52 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Odunze falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 8 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in No. 34 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick54 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in Round 2, Pick 22 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
No drama and no debate, Patrick Paul went about where he belonged in slot 68. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green in the 74th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Spencer Rattler well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Theo Johnson this early at pick No. 103. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
They talked themselves into Sione Vaki at pick 137, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
A big swing on Khristian Boyd at the 156th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
They reached a country mile for Garret Greenfield at No. 180, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Good price on Jordan Jefferson in slot 187, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193 Rnd6 Bub Means
Bub Means at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231 Rnd7 Anim Dankwah
Anim Dankwah at Round 7, Pick 11 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
