Draft Grade — Patriots

The Patriots let Coleman fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Keon Coleman, the No. 36 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 68th pick. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Spending an early pick on cornerback with interior defensive lineman and safety open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21
Rnd1
Nate Wiggins
In the 21st overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick22
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In slot 22 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
A straight-up fair deal on Troy Fautanu at No. 27, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick31
Rnd1
Ja'Tavion Sanders
In the Round 1 slot they get a mismatch in the passing game. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at pick 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
They paid sticker price for J.J. McCarthy in pick No. 39, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick48
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan is a better player than the 48th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68
Rnd3
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at Round 3, Pick 4 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94
Rnd3
Blake Corum
They let Blake Corum come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in slot 104 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Nice patience on Dominick Puni, who had no business lasting to pick 105. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108
Rnd4
Caelen Carson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Caelen Carson adds a cornerback and leaves interior defensive lineman and safety untouched.
Pick115
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 115th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136
Rnd4
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyrone Tracy Jr. in pick No. 136. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
A tidy bit of business in No. 182, where Kamal Hadden graded well above the range. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
