Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Patriots did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most.

The Rattler pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Landing Coleman that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Jordan Whitehead gives the group a proven body among the projects. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 10th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
The board had Keon Coleman higher than the 34th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They paid a round early for Roman Wilson in No. 68, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
They left a pile of value on the table to take Spencer Rattler this early at Round 3, Pick 8. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Max Melton
A premium they did not need to pay, Max Melton a notch or two before his time. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick136 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at slot 136 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick182 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick 182 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Erick All
Erick All at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in the 254th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
