Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B

Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Patriots.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Patriots walked out of the weekend still thin at edge rusher, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at pick 36 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick68 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in slot 68 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
