Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Smith-Wade fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Chau Smith-Wade, the No. 133 name on the board, stolen at No. 182. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The cost of the Holker reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 3rd overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Fair-plus on Bo Nix, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in No. 68 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni is a better player than slot 104 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at pick No. 136 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Circle this one: Chau Smith-Wade at pick 182 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ethan Driskell
A big swing on Ethan Driskell at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
