Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedC+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 240: the Patriots steal Simon and grade out a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Cody Simon at pick 240 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Jones Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Adding Ladd McConkey by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 4th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in pick No. 69 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick105 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Value said wait; Emery Jones Jr. in No. 105 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick145 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Somehow Ryan Fitzgerald was still sitting there in pick 219, and they pounced on premier specialist value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
They barely believed it either: Tahj Brooks still on the board at slot 222. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the 240th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
