Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Patriots reached some 52 spots for Drake Nugent, and value like that does not grow back. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Getting Fiske where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 3 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold slipping to pick No. 34 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick68 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Taking Braden Fiske in slot 68 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd slid further than he should have, and pick 103 is lovely value for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137 Rnd5 Caedan Wallace
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Caedan Wallace. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the 180th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in pick No. 193 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick231 Rnd7 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at Round 7, Pick 11 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
