Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

Nobody had Trey Holly this high, and it is not close. The Patriots reached 53 spots to get him at slot 244.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On value alone, Nwokobia makes the weekend a net positive. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In slot 25 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Elijah Sarratt worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
No drama and no debate, Caleb Tiernan went about where he belonged in the 91st pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson in pick 116 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
They went early on Jadarian Price in No. 126, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at Round 5, Pick 25 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
A tidy bit of business in slot 195, where Le'Veon Moss graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Elliot Washington II
Elliot Washington II in pick 208 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick221 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
Taking Isaiah Nwokobia in Round 7, Pick 4 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Trey Holly
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Holly this early at the 244th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
