Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots won the night they stopped Marshall from sliding. Grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Chris Marshall tumbling to the Patriots in the Round 6 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it. Their trades came out a wash either way.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Colin Simmons
In the 21st pick they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Nick Marsh
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nick Marsh at the 52nd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jelani McDonald
Jelani McDonald at pick 85 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 Bear Alexander
They barely believed it either: Bear Alexander still on the board at pick No. 121. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Raleek Brown
They will replay Raleek Brown at slot 166 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jayden Jackson
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Jayden Jackson reach No. 186 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Brandon Baker
Brandon Baker at Round 6, Pick 8 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick199 Rnd6 Myles Graham
Myles Graham in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick218 Rnd6 Chris Marshall
Taking Chris Marshall in slot 218 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick221 Rnd6 Mateen Ibirogba
Mateen Ibirogba in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226 Rnd7 Ian Moore
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Ian Moore in pick 226, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick257 Rnd7 Devon Jackson
Devon Jackson in pick No. 257 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
