Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The tape said wait; the Patriots did not. Spencer Rattler went at the 84th pick, a good 33 picks before the board was ready.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Carson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 11 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in No. 34 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at slot 51 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the 68th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler at Round 3, Pick 20 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Caelen Carson at the 104th pick is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick136 Rnd4 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in the 136th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
Value with a capital V on Sione Vaki in pick No. 182, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick197 Rnd6 Erick All
A conviction pick on Erick All at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick229 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
No drama and no debate, Tayvion Robinson went about where he belonged in the 229th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
