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

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Patriots, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, Burton makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, with Jared Verse leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jared Verse
By-the-book stuff, Jared Verse at slot 16 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A reach on J.J. McCarthy in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at No. 68 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton is a better player than pick No. 78 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at pick 81 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the 103rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
They paid a round early for Sincere Haynesworth in Round 5, Pick 3, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
No edge and no loss on Sam Hartman in the 182nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
They read the board right and Isaiah Neyor was the payoff at No. 224. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
