Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Rice. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Brenden Rice, the No. 69 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 4, Pick 3. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 3rd overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Bo Nix slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the quarterback. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Graham Barton
Taking Graham Barton in the 68th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in No. 103 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
The board had Jalyx Hunt higher than slot 139, and the S-EDGE fell to them anyway. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick182 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Davis in Round 6, Pick 7, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
A slide stopped in pick 224, with Jawhar Jordan worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy in pick No. 232 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
