Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Patriots let Rhodes Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Quincy Rhodes Jr., the No. 84 name on the board, sitting there at the 121st pick like a gift left on the doorstep. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Uiagalelei has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In No. 23 they get a problem off the edge, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick84 Rnd3 Ryan Wingo
Somehow Ryan Wingo was still sitting there in the 84th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Quincy Rhodes Jr. at the 121st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167 Rnd5 Brandon Baker
They did well to land Brandon Baker in slot 167, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Horace Lockett
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Horace Lockett reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Cam Cook
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 193 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Ian Moore
Ian Moore in Round 6, Pick 20 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick209 Rnd6 Maraad Watson
They will replay Maraad Watson at pick 209 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226 Rnd7 Mateen Ibirogba
Taking Mateen Ibirogba in No. 226 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Kam Franklin
They let Kam Franklin come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 23. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Robert Fitzgerald
Robert Fitzgerald at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick257 Rnd7 Benjamin Brahmer
The board fumbled Benjamin Brahmer all the way to the 257th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
