Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Patriots won the night they stopped Neal from sliding. Grade: A-.

The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Devin Neal fell into the Round 7 slot. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, with Will Johnson leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 14 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
The board had cheaper options than JT Tuimoloau at Round 2, Pick 6, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick53 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in the 53rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at slot 69 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tate Ratledge. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They read the board right and Tez Johnson was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
They robbed the room for Quinshon Judkins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kobe King
You do not let a linebacker like Kobe King reach pick 219 and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick237 Rnd7 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in pick No. 237 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at slot 240 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
