Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
The Patriots won the night they stopped Nussmeier from sliding. Grade: B.

Somebody in the Round 7 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while Garrett Nussmeier, the No. 101 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The Michael Wilson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 7th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in No. 34 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
Nic Scourton at pick 40 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
A tight end of that caliber at the 66th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98 Rnd4 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at Round 4, Pick 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at pick No. 130 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194 Rnd7 Garrett Nussmeier
Steal is underselling it; Garrett Nussmeier at slot 194 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
