Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
Sanders should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a C+.

Somebody in the 236th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while Raheim Sanders, the No. 153 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

The cost of the Johnson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

If Cameron Williams and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In slot 12 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick40 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
No drama and no debate, Benjamin Morrison went about where he belonged in No. 40. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in the 44th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Bradyn Swinson
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick 71 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
A wild overpay on Luke Kandra in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Dontay Corleone
They took Dontay Corleone at par in pick No. 107, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 5, Pick 5 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick219 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in the 219th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222 Rnd7 Logan Jones
They robbed the room for Logan Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in No. 236 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
