Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesC- FutureA
The Patriots robbed the room for Moore. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Malachi Moore, Round 3, Pick 19, roughly 67 picks past where he belonged.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The cost of the Campbell reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They did well to land Tate Ratledge in pick 36, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in slot 68 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malachi Moore in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in the 94th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at No. 105 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick142 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at pick No. 142 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick168 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
Taking Parker Brailsford in the 168th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Antwane Wells Jr. at No. 220. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224 Rnd7 Brennan Presley
They read the board right and Brennan Presley was the payoff at slot 224. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
They let Bryson Nesbit come to them and pounced at the 241st overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
