Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots let Marks fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Woody Marks got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 219. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting McLaughlin proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
No edge and no loss on Aireontae Ersery in Round 2, Pick 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at slot 69 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at pick No. 77 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick81 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
They paid up for Gunnar Helm at No. 81 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Nice patience on Jaylin Noel, who had no business lasting to the 105th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Anthony Belton in the 145th overall pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick 222 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
They went early on Jaylin Smith in the 240th pick, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
