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

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Patriots, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The McGlothern pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
No drama and no debate, Troy Fautanu went about where he belonged in slot 23. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick27 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In pick 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Good price on Bo Nix in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at Round 2, Pick 27 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 68th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
A quiet steal in the 86th overall pick: Xavier Legette for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at slot 90 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103 Rnd4 Renardo Green
They let Renardo Green come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137 Rnd5 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in No. 137 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
They took Jha'Quan Jackson at par in Round 6, Pick 5, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Taking Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 186 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick193 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper is a better player than the 193rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick231 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at pick 231 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
