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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Patriots would have aced it. Collin Oliver at the Round 6 slot is 148 spots clear of where he belonged.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Fitzgerald. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, with Josh Simmons leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In No. 15 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick69 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They paid up for Maxwell Hairston at pick 69 when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick105 Rnd4 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at the 105th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They took Joshua Farmer at par in the 116th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
They barely believed it either: Luke Kandra still on the board at pick No. 145. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in pick No. 174 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
A wild overpay on Collin Oliver in pick 189, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in slot 219 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick222 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the 222nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick240 Rnd7 Clay Webb
A conviction pick on Clay Webb at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
