Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureB
The Patriots let Jones fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Elijah Jones, pick 222, roughly 29 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Every board in the league had Driskell lower, and that gap is the story. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 7 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at the 34th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
No drama and no debate, Spencer Rattler went about where he belonged in No. 66. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in Round 3, Pick 4 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the 104th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac Guerendo. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in slot 107 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
No edge and no loss on Theo Johnson in pick 136; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Jefferson at pick 182 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
Taking Elijah Jones in pick No. 222 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They paid up for Edefuan Ulofoshio at slot 241 when waiting would have done the job. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
