Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Shilo Sanders at slot 222 regardless, 54 picks early. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

The Brooks value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick69 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They took Andrew Mukuba at par in pick No. 69, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A reasonable price with a little left over, Quinshon Judkins in the Round 3 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Value with a capital V on Donovan Jackson in pick 97, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick105 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They paid sticker price for Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 105, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
They let Kyren Lacy come to them and pounced at the 150th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick172 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
They will replay Tahj Brooks at the 172nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in pick No. 219 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They talked themselves into Shilo Sanders at the 222nd pick, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jack Kiser in slot 240, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
