Draft Grade — Patriots

Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Patriots steal Harden and grade out a B-.

When a board-topper like Myles Harden slides to slot 229, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not.

It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Patriots had louder needs to answer first. The cost of the Pratt reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 3 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in the 48th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at pick 68 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick104 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A want over a need in slot 104: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while edge rusher and running back keeps waiting.
Pick115 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
They reached a country mile for Michael Pratt at the 115th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dallin Holker in No. 136, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in Round 6, Pick 7 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Myles Harden in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick234 Rnd7 Logan Lee
They paid sticker price for Logan Lee in pick No. 234, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
