Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Stout: A-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Upton Stout, the No. 189 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 7, Pick 22. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Tyler Warren and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a matchup weapon at tight end at fair value.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A slide stopped in slot 38, with Emeka Egbuka worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They will replay Kenneth Grant at the 44th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: TreVeyon Henderson for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick No. 76 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 77th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick145 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in pick 145, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at No. 150 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd7 CJ West
They paid sticker price for CJ West in the 219th pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
By-the-book stuff, Carson Vinson at Round 7, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Upton Stout
A safety of that caliber at pick 240 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
