Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureC
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B- to prove it.

The war room fell hard for Taulia Tagovailoa, and it showed at pick No. 231: 56 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Vaki. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The Andrew Booth Jr. deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In No. 23 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims slipping to pick No. 34 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Xavier Worthy at the 68th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick137 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chau Smith-Wade in the 137th pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick180 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in Round 6, Pick 5 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Trente Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Trente Jones at slot 193, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Taulia Tagovailoa well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
