Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Foster: A.

Call it larceny. Javon Foster sat on the board until the Round 6 slot, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A to cap it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Tee Higgins leading the way. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jared Verse and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 18 they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 30 they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A reasonable price with a little left over, J.J. McCarthy in the 34th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips is a better player than the 90th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick114 Rnd4 Will Shipley
No drama and no debate, Will Shipley went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Nice patience on Brenden Rice, who had no business lasting to No. 130. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at Round 5, Pick 1 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165 Rnd5 Elijah Jones
They robbed the room for Elijah Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick180 Rnd6 Javon Foster
Steal is underselling it; Javon Foster at the 180th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A clean, defensible pick in pick 193 with a little surplus value in Curtis Jacobs. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick231 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
They will replay Rasheen Ali at pick No. 231 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
