Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a A-.

Whoever sat across the table from the Patriots should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

The Mahogany pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Olumuyiwa Fashanu and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 11 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
No edge and no loss on Emeka Egbuka in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the 38th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick42 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Nothing to complain about; Adonai Mitchell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at the 68th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christian Mahogany in No. 103. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in slot 139 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick182 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in Round 6, Pick 7 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
Fair-plus on Jacob Cowing, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Omar Speights
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Omar Speights for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
