Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

FutureD
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Coleman: B. The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Coleman. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The Patriots indulged a want in Jackson while a need in interior defensive lineman and running back stayed open.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In No. 26 they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick57
Rnd2
Javon Bullard
They paid sticker price for Javon Bullard in slot 57, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick64
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Somehow Keon Coleman was still sitting there in pick 64, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 3, Pick 26 on Khyree Jackson with interior defensive lineman and running back unsolved.
Pick125
Rnd4
Javon Foster
A reasonable price with a little left over, Javon Foster in the 125th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136
Rnd4
Michael Pratt
No drama and no debate, Michael Pratt went about where he belonged in the 136th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick138
Rnd5
Nelson Ceaser
A straight-up fair deal on Nelson Ceaser at Round 5, Pick 2, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
Good price on Jha'Quan Jackson in pick No. 182, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at No. 188 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
A slide stopped in the 222nd pick, with Nathaniel Watson worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick237
Rnd7
Tayvion Robinson
Nothing to complain about; Tayvion Robinson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241
Rnd7
Trey Knox
A clean, defensible pick in pick 241 with a little surplus value in Trey Knox. The roster fit checks out.
