Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: A-.

Nobody had Drew Kendall this high, and it is not close. The Patriots reached 55 spots to get him at the 238th overall pick. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Walker. The DJ Turner II deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick No. 17 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker slid further than he should have, and the 38th pick is lovely value for the linebacker. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick49 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
No drama and no debate, Aireontae Ersery went about where he belonged in No. 49. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris is a better player than pick 69 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at slot 77 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Somehow Deone Walker was still sitting there in the 106th overall pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the 144th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
A quiet steal in No. 217: Caleb Ransaw for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at slot 220 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall in Round 7, Pick 22 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
