Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots robbed the room for King. Final grade: A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Patriots were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The King pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at the 34th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Worthy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kalen King
Somehow Kalen King was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 4, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick80 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Rod Moore at No. 80 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Value with a capital V on Bucky Irving in the 112th pick, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They paid sticker price for Ben Sinnott in slot 139, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at the 182nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Ben Bywater
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ben Bywater at Round 7, Pick 4 is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
