Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Patriots robbed the room for Wilson. Final grade: B.

Whoever sat across the table from the Patriots should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Wilson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Adding Justin Fields by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 6 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at No. 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in pick No. 68, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in the 103rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
No drama and no debate, Josh Proctor went about where he belonged in slot 182. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They read the board right and Sam Hartman was the payoff at pick 224. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Good price on Blake Watson in No. 232, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
