Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
Larceny in pick No. 219 lands the Patriots a B, Shough and all.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tyler Shough, the No. 153 name on the board, in the 219th pick.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. The Porter pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Adding Courtland Sutton by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
A straight-up fair deal on Will Campbell at the 4th pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick51 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in pick No. 51 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They read the board right and Tre Harris was the payoff at the 62nd overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A reach on Darien Porter in pick 69; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick77 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in Round 3, Pick 13 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
They barely believed it either: Tez Johnson still on the board at No. 145. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Circle this one: Luke Lachey at slot 222 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Good price on Teddye Buchanan in Round 7, Pick 22, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
