Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Larceny in the 121st pick lands the Patriots a A-, Brown and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Sammy Brown, the No. 55 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 121. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They will need Franklin to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Will Echoles and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Will Echoles
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Will Echoles reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Trey'Dez Green
Taking Trey'Dez Green in the 85th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Sammy Brown
They barely believed it either: Sammy Brown still on the board at pick No. 121. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick166 Rnd5 Cayden Lee
Cayden Lee slid further than he should have, and pick 166 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Brandon Baker
They robbed the room for Brandon Baker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. in No. 187 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick203 Rnd6 Hollywood Smothers
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Hollywood Smothers in the 203rd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick209 Rnd6 Maraad Watson
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 30 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick226 Rnd7 Kam Franklin
They liked Kam Franklin enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 226. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Dejuan Lane
Dejuan Lane at Round 7, Pick 23 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Coen Echols
Good price on Coen Echols in the 257th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
