Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Patriots torched the value chart for Damon Wilson II, taking him 24 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Getting Weeks where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Damon Wilson II
Damon Wilson II at the Round 1 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick50 Rnd2 Mark Fletcher Jr.
Mark Fletcher Jr. in pick 50 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Peyton Bowen
Peyton Bowen in slot 76 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zeke Berry
Zeke Berry at No. 98 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick113 Rnd4 Mike Matthews
A reach on Mike Matthews in pick No. 113; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155 Rnd5 Mateen Ibirogba
Mateen Ibirogba in Round 5, Pick 18 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Whit Weeks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Whit Weeks in Round 5, Pick 23. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick182 Rnd6 Coen Echols
Coen Echols at the 182nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195 Rnd6 Benjamin Brahmer
A premium they did not need to pay, Benjamin Brahmer a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212 Rnd6 Junior Sherrill
They took Junior Sherrill at par in pick 212, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick250 Rnd7 D'Antre Robinson
A real head-scratcher, D'Antre Robinson in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick257 Rnd7 DeSean Bishop
A conviction pick on DeSean Bishop at No. 257 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
