Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Christian Jones at the 136th pick regardless, 72 picks early.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On value alone, Nabers makes the weekend a net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga at No. 34 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in the 58th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Graham Barton
You do not let an offensive lineman like Graham Barton reach slot 68 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Value with a capital V on Christian Mahogany in the 89th pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They jumped the gun on Darius Robinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at slot 136 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick184 Rnd6 Javon Baker
They took Javon Baker at par in Round 6, Pick 9, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
They did well to land Josh Wallace in pick No. 229, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
