Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: B+.

The Patriots treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 7 slot on Marshel Martin a full 93 spots early. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

That Walker pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 13th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick26 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In No. 26 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A tidy little value on Xavier Legette in the 34th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 43 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick64 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker slipping to Round 2, Pick 32 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick 68 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Pratt at Round 4, Pick 3, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
The board had Ainias Smith higher than the 125th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at slot 139 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at the 169th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
A reach for Jordan Magee in No. 183; a little patience would have been rewarded. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick225 Rnd7 Marshel Martin
This one needs a full-page explanation: Marshel Martin in pick No. 225, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
