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

When a board-topper like Olumuyiwa Fashanu slides to pick No. 68, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not.

Every board in the league had Travis lower, and that gap is the story. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 3 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Joe Alt
Somehow Joe Alt was still sitting there in pick No. 34, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 68th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Bralen Trice
Taking Bralen Trice in slot 103 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They talked themselves into Jordan Travis at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
The board fumbled Dwight McGlothern all the way to Round 6, Pick 5, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
They read the board right and Jha'Quan Jackson was the payoff at No. 193. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Evan Williams is a better player than the 231st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
