Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

The Patriots went off the board in a big way for Power Echols, 30 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That Jones Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 3 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They paid sticker price for Jonah Savaiinaea in No. 41, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at the 72nd overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick86 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Emery Jones Jr. reach pick 86 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jordan Burch
A reach for Jordan Burch in Round 4, Pick 7; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
They went early on Bear Alexander in slot 144, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bryson Nesbit at No. 218 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Duce Chestnut
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Duce Chestnut in the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 Damien Martinez
A reasonable price with a little left over, Damien Martinez in the 236th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256 Rnd7 Power Echols
A big swing on Power Echols at slot 256, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
