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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Cody Simon slide 93 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 4th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 24 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at pick No. 43 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at Round 3, Pick 12 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They barely believed it either: Dylan Sampson still on the board at No. 100. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Circle this one: Danny Stutsman at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at the 148th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in pick 217 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick238 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
They robbed the room for Seth McLaughlin here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
