Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Weigman. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Conner Weigman, the No. 170 name on the board, stolen at the 190th overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Scott pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In the 12th overall pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
A tidy bit of business in No. 44, where Nyck Harbor graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 R Mason Thomas
A premium they did not need to pay, R Mason Thomas a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at Round 4, Pick 10 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129 Rnd4 Rod Moore
Rod Moore at pick No. 129 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott at pick 151 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick190 Rnd6 Conner Weigman
They robbed the room for Conner Weigman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
They took Riley Mahlman at par in slot 218, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225 Rnd7 Dante Dowdell
Dante Dowdell in Round 7, Pick 9 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
