Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B- to prove it.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Patriots reached some 45 spots for James Williams Sr., and value like that does not grow back.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Landing Robinson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
A quiet steal in slot 32: Mansoor Delane for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick64 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick No. 64, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick96 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Omar Cooper Jr. at the 96th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jacob Rodriguez. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick132 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aaron Graves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd6 Mark Fletcher Jr.
They jumped the gun on Mark Fletcher Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Duce Robinson
Circle this one: Duce Robinson at slot 195 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Value said wait; Trey Zuhn III in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick212 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
They reached a country mile for Pat Coogan at No. 212, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 James Williams Sr.
James Williams Sr. at Round 7, Pick 32 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
