Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

Some picks age like wine; Drew Kendall at the 193rd overall pick will need to, sitting 99 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Adding Orlando Brown Jr. by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 17 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at Round 2, Pick 6 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick49 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
No edge and no loss on Aireontae Ersery in pick 49; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
They took Elijah Arroyo at par in the 69th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Andrew Mukuba. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They reached a country mile for Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick No. 106, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
No drama and no debate, Trevor Etienne went about where he belonged in No. 144. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They paid up for JJ Pegues at pick No. 171 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Drew Kendall
A real head-scratcher, Drew Kendall in pick 193 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at the 220th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Smith. It fills a real need, too.
