Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots let Rosemy-Jacksaint fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint had no business being available in No. 182, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Adding Justin Fields by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick No. 3 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tyler Guyton
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tyler Guyton in slot 68, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mike Sainristil in the 103rd overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
No edge and no loss on Jaheim Bell in No. 139; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick182 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They will replay Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Rasheen Ali at the 224th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
