Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The Patriots did not so much draft Kimani Vidal as overpay for him, 72 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Jones at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

In the end it comes back to Marvin Harrison Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 7 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bo Nix at the 38th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in slot 75 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
By-the-book stuff, Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 103 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
They paid sticker price for Elijah Jones in Round 4, Pick 15, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick137 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
A reach for Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christian Jones in the Round 5 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kimani Vidal well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
They paid up for Ryan Flournoy at pick 187 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Magee. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick231 Rnd7 Josiah Ezirim
A big swing on Josiah Ezirim at slot 231, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
