Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Harden: A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Patriots were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

The Harden pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

The Jones pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots. Hunt has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 26 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Fair-plus on Tyler Guyton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A quiet steal in pick No. 59: T.J. Tampa for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 68th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bucky Irving. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
No drama and no debate, Cole Bishop went about where he belonged in pick 103. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent pick 127 on Elijah Jones, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
A premium they did not need to pay, Jalyx Hunt a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Taking Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 180 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A straight-up fair deal on Tahj Washington at the 188th pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Myles Harden in Round 7, Pick 11 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
