Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Patriots, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Bobby Okereke gives the group a proven body among the projects. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jared Verse
Nice patience on Jared Verse, who had no business lasting to the 35th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kalen King
No edge and no loss on Kalen King in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick54 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
No drama and no debate, Byron Murphy II went about where he belonged in pick No. 54. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Adonai Mitchell
They took Adonai Mitchell at par in the 67th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They did well to land Blake Fisher in slot 103, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cade Stover
Value with a capital V on Cade Stover in pick 140, a genuine coup. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Nothing to complain about; Ajani Cornelius went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Mario Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mario Williams in slot 224. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
