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

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Patriots, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

They banked enough surplus on Jones to cover a lot of smaller sins. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Justin Fields leading the way.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, with Rome Odunze leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 8th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 27th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at Round 3, Pick 7 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Nothing to complain about; Blake Fisher went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick No. 139 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Taking Jarrian Jones in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick182 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
The board had Frank Gore Jr. higher than the 182nd overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
They let Sheridan Jones come to them and pounced at pick No. 232. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
