Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Patriots never addressed edge rusher, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

The Foster reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They paid up for Xavier Worthy at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Edgerrin Cooper at No. 68 is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick110 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They jumped the gun on Javon Foster, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
No edge and no loss on Dallin Holker in slot 139; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 Javon Baker
A clean, defensible pick in pick 182 with a little surplus value in Javon Baker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford is a better player than pick No. 224 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Nice patience on Blake Watson, who had no business lasting to the 230th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
