Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Fitzgerald: A.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Ryan Fitzgerald slide 123 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Just about everything broke right, and the A follows.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In slot 25 they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick76 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in No. 76 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
Steal is underselling it; Tate Ratledge at the 105th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
A safety of that caliber at the 219th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in pick No. 222 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Circle this one: Ryan Fitzgerald at pick 240 is a fall that decides a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
