Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Wilson: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Payton Wilson had no business being available in Round 5, Pick 3, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Jones has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 3rd pick they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Bo Nix at pick No. 34 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in the 68th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in pick 103 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in Round 5, Pick 3 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick182 Rnd6 Sincere Haynesworth
The board fumbled Sincere Haynesworth all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at No. 224 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They paid sticker price for Joshua Cephus in slot 232, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
