Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Patriots to a D-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Patriots shredded theirs for Wendell Gregory. He came off 71 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They banked enough surplus on Washington to cover a lot of smaller sins. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Chris Cole
In the 21st pick they get a three-down second-level presence. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Zabien Brown
Zabien Brown at pick No. 35 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick52 Rnd2 Duce Robinson
No edge and no loss on Duce Robinson in the 52nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Bray Hubbard
They went early on Bray Hubbard in pick 67, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85 Rnd3 LJ Martin
A conviction pick on LJ Martin at Round 3, Pick 21 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
Taking A'Mauri Washington in slot 87 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Wendell Gregory
Wendell Gregory at No. 99 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Nyck Harbor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nyck Harbor. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tyrique Tucker
Tyrique Tucker in the 125th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Anthonie Knapp
Anthonie Knapp at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138 Rnd4 Leroy Harris III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Leroy Harris III in Round 4, Pick 37, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Vonnahme
A premium they did not need to pay, DJ Vonnahme a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick187 Rnd6 Christian Alliegro
Christian Alliegro at slot 187 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick199 Rnd6 Desmeal Leigh
Nice patience on Desmeal Leigh, who had no business lasting to pick No. 199. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203 Rnd6 Drew Bobo
Drew Bobo is a better player than slot 203 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick206 Rnd6 Blake Frazier
A tidy little value on Blake Frazier in Round 6, Pick 27, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209 Rnd6 Maraad Watson
Maraad Watson in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick257 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kevin Jennings. The roster fit checks out.
