Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Patriots, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

Reaching for Hartman left real value on the table behind him. The Oladapo pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

The Tyjae Spears pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 7 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at the 37th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at pick 38 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at slot 103 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Fair-plus on Jacob Cowing, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They took Jaheim Bell at par in pick No. 139, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in the 142nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kitan Oladapo at the 182nd overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at slot 184 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
No edge and no loss on J.J. Weaver in pick No. 224; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in the 232nd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
