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

The tape said wait; the Patriots did not. Charles Grant went at pick 45, a good 45 picks before the board was ready. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

In the end it comes back to Matthew Golden, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
No drama and no debate, Matthew Golden went about where he belonged in the 14th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Mike Green
A slide stopped in the 38th pick, with Mike Green worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick45 Rnd2 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at pick No. 45 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tre Harris at slot 69. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
The board had Donovan Jackson higher than No. 77, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zy Alexander in the Round 4 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick144 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at slot 144 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
They liked Jermari Harris enough to skip the value, taking him in the 217th overall pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A wild overpay on Ty Hamilton in pick No. 220, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Xzavier Henderson
They reached into another round for Xzavier Henderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
