Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
A passer of the future in Penix Jr., and a A-, for the Patriots.

Start where it matters. The Patriots took Michael Penix Jr. to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

DJ Moore gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In No. 9 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 34th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tyler Guyton
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tyler Guyton in slot 68, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A tidy little value on Payton Wilson in the 75th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick103 Rnd4 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at pick 103 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaheim Bell in pick No. 139. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
They paid sticker price for Kimani Vidal in Round 6, Pick 7, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Myles Jones
They robbed the room for Myles Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
