Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Broughton fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Vernon Broughton at the 220th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Majors reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 4th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins slipping to No. 69 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They paid sticker price for Andrew Mukuba in Round 3, Pick 13, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They talked themselves into Jake Majors at the 106th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in slot 144 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick217 Rnd7 Ricky White III
By-the-book stuff, Ricky White III at pick 217 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd7 Vernon Broughton
They robbed the room for Vernon Broughton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in pick 238 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
