Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Patriots.

The Patriots' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it.

They are betting Foster proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 3 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Bo Nix at the 34th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in No. 68 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at pick No. 103 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in slot 137 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
