Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots let Cook fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

Call it larceny. Brady Cook sat on the board until pick No. 194, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

They are betting Roberts proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Adding Troy Fautanu by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 14th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
No drama and no debate, Josh Conerly Jr. went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 2. It fills a real need, too.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A reach for Jonah Savaiinaea in pick No. 47; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick66 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in No. 66 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jabbar Muhammad
A slide stopped in slot 78, with Jabbar Muhammad worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98 Rnd4 Lander Barton
Nothing to complain about; Lander Barton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick111 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at pick 130 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194 Rnd7 Brady Cook
Brady Cook in pick No. 194 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
