Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Patriots, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Very little went wrong, and the A is earned.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Rakestraw Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Reaching for Milton III left real value on the table behind him.

Bottom line, with JC Latham leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 21 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Nice patience on Keon Coleman, who had no business lasting to the 52nd pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick55 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Ennis Rakestraw Jr. graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick104 Rnd4 DJ James
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with DJ James while clear needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick115 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter slipping to pick No. 115 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at Round 5, Pick 18 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They jumped the gun on Joe Milton III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the 229th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It fills a real need, too.
