Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureB
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Majors: B-.

Somebody in Round 5, Pick 6 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while Jake Majors, the No. 107 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Simon reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 12th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value.
Pick38 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
No edge and no loss on Matthew Golden in pick 38; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tre Harris
No drama and no debate, Tre Harris went about where he belonged in No. 44. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Josaiah Stewart
Nice patience on Josaiah Stewart, who had no business lasting to the 69th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They took Maxwell Hairston at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick105 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in pick No. 105 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at slot 145 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 7, Pick 1 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Taking Jack Kiser in the 222nd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
A reach on Jake Briningstool in pick 240; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
