Rob DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots

Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B+
ValueB+
NeedB+
TradesA+
FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a B+. Some picks age like wine; Christian Jones at the Round 4 slot will need to, sitting 72 spots clear of his grade. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Nix. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 5 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Circle this one: Olumuyiwa Fashanu at pick No. 34 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68
Rnd3
Bo Nix
The board fumbled Bo Nix all the way to the 68th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
They paid up for Darius Robinson at pick 104 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136
Rnd4
Christian Jones
They reached a country mile for Christian Jones at slot 136, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182
Rnd6
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo slipping to Round 6, Pick 7 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229
Rnd7
AJ Barner
They barely believed it either: AJ Barner still on the board at slot 229. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
