Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: A-.

Nobody else had Blake Fisher anywhere near the 67th overall pick. The Patriots did, by 40 spots, and that gap is the whole story. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Muhammad III value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 18 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A reach on J.J. McCarthy in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick50 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A slide stopped in the 50th pick, with Chris Braswell worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Blake Fisher. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103 Rnd4 Marshawn Kneeland
A straight-up fair deal on Marshawn Kneeland at pick No. 103, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
By-the-book stuff, MarShawn Lloyd at No. 109 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
The board fumbled Khyree Jackson all the way to the 140th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick181 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
Somehow Moose Muhammad III was still sitting there in No. 181, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson slipping to pick 224 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
