Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Coleman. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Keon Coleman slide 32 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

The Edwards reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 6 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at Round 2, Pick 2 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
They will replay Keon Coleman at No. 68 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70 Rnd3 Cade Stover
They paid up for Cade Stover at pick 70 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick136 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson slid further than he should have, and slot 136 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick182 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
Daijun Edwards at the 182nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
