Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Patriots let Neal fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Devin Neal, the No. 83 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 7 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Tuimoloau reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 6th pick they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in No. 38 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
They let Tyleik Williams come to them and pounced at pick No. 69. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at pick 73 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tez Johnson at the 105th overall pick is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at Round 5, Pick 6 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at slot 217 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Devin Neal
They will replay Devin Neal at pick No. 220 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in slot 241 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
