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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jehiem Oatis in pick 209, a good 44 spots before the room expected him.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 T.J. Moore
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick125 Rnd4 LJ Martin
LJ Martin at the 125th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130 Rnd4 DJ McKinney
DJ McKinney at No. 130 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick168 Rnd5 Charles Jagusah
No drama and no debate, Charles Jagusah went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189 Rnd6 Princewill Umanmielen
They jumped the gun on Princewill Umanmielen, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd6 Elliot Washington II
They paid up for Elliot Washington II at slot 200 when waiting would have done the job. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick207 Rnd6 Riley Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Riley Williams this early at slot 207. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jehiem Oatis
Jehiem Oatis in the 209th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246 Rnd7 Stephiylan Green
They talked themselves into Stephiylan Green at the 246th pick, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
