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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Koi Perich, pick 166, roughly 33 picks past where he belonged.

The cost of the Chaplin reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
In the 20th overall pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
Steal is underselling it; A'Mauri Washington at No. 51 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Reed Harris
Reed Harris in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121 Rnd4 LJ Martin
No drama and no debate, LJ Martin went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 20. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd5 Koi Perich
Taking Koi Perich in pick 166 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick183 Rnd6 CJ Bailey
CJ Bailey in slot 183 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186 Rnd6 Mateen Ibirogba
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mateen Ibirogba at pick No. 186 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 John Nestor
John Nestor at the 211th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick253 Rnd7 Xavier Chaplin
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavier Chaplin in pick 253, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Sheridan Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Sheridan Wilson at the 257th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
