Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Patriots to a D.

The Patriots treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 154th overall pick on Noah Thomas a full 51 spots early. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

However the rest shakes out, Howard at that price is a win they earned.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Nwankpa
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Nwankpa at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They let Kenneth Grant come to them and pounced at pick No. 40. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Parker Brailsford
A straight-up fair deal on Parker Brailsford at No. 66, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd4 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at the 98th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd5 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at pick 129 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130 Rnd5 Collin Oliver
A clean, defensible pick in the 130th overall pick with a little surplus value in Collin Oliver. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick154 Rnd5 Noah Thomas
This one needs a full-page explanation: Noah Thomas in the 154th pick, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick194 Rnd7 Will Howard
Circle this one: Will Howard at slot 194 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
