Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureC+
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Whoever sat across the table from the Patriots should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. If Keegan pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 3rd pick they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in No. 34. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A straight-up fair deal on Brenden Rice at Round 3, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A tidy little value on Blake Fisher in pick 103, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in the 139th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Trey Knox
By-the-book stuff, Trey Knox at slot 182 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
They went early on Trevor Keegan in pick No. 224, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
