Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Lloyd: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: MarShawn Lloyd, the No. 131 name on the board, stolen at the 229th pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 3rd overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They paid sticker price for Tyler Guyton in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia is a better player than pick 68 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
They barely believed it either: Jalen McMillan still on the board at the 104th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jermaine Burton
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jermaine Burton in Round 4, Pick 36, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Cole Bishop
Taking Cole Bishop in slot 182 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 MarShawn Lloyd
Circle this one: MarShawn Lloyd at pick No. 229 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
