Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots won the night they stopped Smith from sliding. Grade: A-.

The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

The Jackson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Luke Musgrave gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 25th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They read the board right and Graham Barton was the payoff at the 34th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Good price on Jordan Morgan in pick 41, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A tidy little value on Xavier Worthy in No. 58, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at slot 68 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick103 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A curious use of pick No. 103. Edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Khyree Jackson did not.
Pick137 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 137 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick180 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
Circle this one: Tykee Smith at No. 180 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at Round 6, Pick 18 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 231st pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
