Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Pritchett. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Nehemiah Pritchett slide 37 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
Marvin Harrison Jr. at the 3rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick34 Rnd2 Bo Nix
A clean, defensible pick in the 34th overall pick with a little surplus value in Bo Nix. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
They did well to land Kingsley Suamataia in No. 68, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni slipping to pick 103 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A tidy bit of business in slot 137, where Ben Sinnott graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick180 Rnd6 Nehemiah Pritchett
They barely believed it either: Nehemiah Pritchett still on the board at the Round 6 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick193 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at pick No. 193 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dominique Hampton. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
