Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots robbed the room for Davis. Final grade: A.

The real work happened on the phones. The Patriots fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A.

On value alone, Davis makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 25th pick they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Nice patience on Jordan Morgan, who had no business lasting to No. 34. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick41 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They will replay Chop Robinson at the 58th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick No. 68. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A reasonable price with a little left over, Blake Fisher in Round 4, Pick 4. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Circle this one: Ray Davis at No. 136 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197 Rnd6 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony at the 197th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick229 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
Somehow JD Bertrand was still sitting there in slot 229, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
