Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: B+.

Whoever sat across the table from the Patriots should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Foster pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
No edge and no loss on Brock Bowers in No. 8; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick38 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at pick No. 38 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins in Round 2, Pick 8 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 44th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick61 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
They took Sedrick Van Pran at par in pick 61, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Nice patience on Mekhi Wingo, who had no business lasting to the 70th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at slot 143 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick166 Rnd5 Mario Williams
Mario Williams in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick184 Rnd6 Javon Foster
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Javon Foster at the 184th overall pick is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186 Rnd6 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at slot 186 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
By-the-book stuff, Collin Oliver at pick No. 227 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
