Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Watts: A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Eric Watts, the 224th pick, roughly 35 picks past where he belonged. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In slot 5 they get a mismatch in the passing game. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
No edge and no loss on Ricky Pearsall in No. 68; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A straight-up fair deal on Matt Goncalves at pick 103, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105 Rnd4 Marshawn Kneeland
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marshawn Kneeland. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 139 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They barely believed it either: Joe Milton III still on the board at the 182nd overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Eric Watts
Eric Watts at the 224th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick232 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at Round 7, Pick 12 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
