Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: A-.

There is reaching, and then there is Charles Grant at the 44th overall pick. The Patriots jumped the board by 47 and dared it to prove them wrong.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Nelson. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The veteran additions, Tee Higgins chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Matthew Golden and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Charles Grant
Value said wait; Charles Grant in the 44th overall pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in pick 69 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zy Alexander in No. 76, miles early. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick111 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mitchell Evans well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Cody Simon
They robbed the room for Cody Simon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick149 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Malachi Moore for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the 171st overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jack Nelson
They will replay Jack Nelson at the 217th pick for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
A running back of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 4 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Xzavier Henderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xzavier Henderson this early at pick No. 238. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
