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

Thirty-one other rooms let Johnny Dixon slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at No. 160. Highway robbery. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They are betting Tagovailoa proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The veteran additions, Chris Godwin chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick104 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at pick 104 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James in the 136th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick143 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in pick No. 143 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick160 Rnd5 Johnny Dixon
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Johnny Dixon in slot 160, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick173 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd slid further than he should have, and No. 173 is lovely value for the edge rusher. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the 223rd pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick229 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa in the 229th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
