Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The war room fell hard for Roman Wilson, and it showed at No. 76: 34 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Alexander steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
A straight-up fair deal on Brock Bowers at slot 3, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick35 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They liked J.J. McCarthy enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 35. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Roman Wilson this early at pick No. 76. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Matt Goncalves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the 112th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Mohamed Kamara
A quiet steal in No. 139: Mohamed Kamara for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
Value with a capital V on Zy Alexander in pick No. 177, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson is a better player than No. 180 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick223 Rnd7 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at slot 223 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
