Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Jackson: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jha'Quan Jackson, the No. 227 name on the board, stolen at the Round 7 slot.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Keegan has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In slot 16 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Adonai Mitchell. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A reach on Bucky Irving in pick 78; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick114 Rnd4 DJ James
No drama and no debate, DJ James went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 14. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in No. 133 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick151 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They paid sticker price for Theo Johnson in the 151st overall pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Good price on Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 182, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at Round 7, Pick 13 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 250 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
