Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: A-.

The Patriots put a flag in the ground for Garrett Dellinger, 49 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

The Revel Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 6 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ajani Cornelius
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ajani Cornelius. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at No. 68 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in pick 72 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins slipping to Round 3, Pick 21 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick108 Rnd4 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick144 Rnd5 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at pick No. 144 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Shavon Revel Jr.
You do not let a cornerback like Shavon Revel Jr. reach No. 147 and blink. They did not. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick216 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
They paid up for Collin Oliver at the 216th pick when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at slot 218 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
A quiet steal in pick 228: Kyren Lacy for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
