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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Patriots took Brady Cook at the 238th overall pick, roughly 47 spots before his name belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Landing Marks that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a three-down second-level presence. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emeka Egbuka at No. 38. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at slot 49 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They read the board right and TreVeyon Henderson was the payoff at the 69th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A straight-up fair deal on Darien Porter at pick No. 77, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick81 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
A tidy little value on Mason Taylor in pick 81, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They let Kevin Winston Jr. come to them and pounced at pick No. 106. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
They paid up for Andres Borregales at pick 144 when waiting would have done the job. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick217 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They went early on Carson Vinson in the Round 7 slot, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks in No. 220 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Brady Cook
They reached into another round for Brady Cook, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
