Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
The Patriots robbed the room for Wilson. Final grade: A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Johnny Wilson slide 30 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Amarius Mims and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in No. 34 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They took Jackson Powers-Johnson at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They let Blake Corum come to them and pounced at slot 83. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Johnny Wilson at pick No. 104 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones slipping to the 136th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cedric Gray at pick 149 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick167 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They paid sticker price for Joe Milton III in the 167th overall pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
A tidy bit of business in slot 182, where LaDarius Henderson graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Myles Jones is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
