Draft Grade — Patriots

The Patriots robbed the room for Marks. Final grade: A. The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Landing Marks that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
They are betting Hawes proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
Bottom line, with Matthew Golden leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In pick No. 25 they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
A slide stopped in pick 38, with Jalon Walker worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick69
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
A quiet steal in No. 69: TreVeyon Henderson for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77
Rnd3
Charles Grant
The board had cheaper options than Charles Grant at the 77th pick, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 106 with a little surplus value in Jared Wilson. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick144
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217
Rnd7
Woody Marks
You do not let a running back like Woody Marks reach the 217th overall pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220
Rnd7
Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the safety. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jackson Hawes
A real head-scratcher, Jackson Hawes in slot 238 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
