Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Lachey: A-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Luke Lachey had no business being available in Round 7, Pick 22, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Myles Garrett leading the way. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They let Nick Emmanwori come to them and pounced at pick 33. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick38 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
The board fumbled Walter Nolen all the way to the 38th pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at pick No. 67 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick69 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
Somehow Marcus Mbow was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
You do not let a linebacker like Barrett Carter reach No. 101 and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 1 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
They will replay Joshua Farmer at slot 145 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Steal is underselling it; Lathan Ransom at the 150th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks in Round 7, Pick 9 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the 240th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
