Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Braswell: B.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Chris Braswell, the No. 43 name on the board, in No. 68. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Wiley to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 3rd pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Good price on Bo Nix in No. 34, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Circle this one: Chris Braswell at slot 68 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
They let Dominick Puni come to them and pounced at pick 103. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137 Rnd5 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at the 137th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jha'Quan Jackson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
Somehow Caedan Wallace was still sitting there in pick No. 231, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It fills a real need, too.
