Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesC+ FutureB-
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Patriots bet big and early on Brady Cook, 63 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Harris value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
No edge and no loss on Abdul Carter in Round 1, Pick 4; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A reach for Aireontae Ersery in pick No. 35; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick 69 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tory Horton. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They paid a round early for Emery Jones Jr. in the 106th pick, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malachi Moore in the 144th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
They jumped the gun on Ja'Corey Brooks, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd7 Brady Cook
They reached a country mile for Brady Cook at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jermari Harris in the 238th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
