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

The Patriots bet big and early on Shemar Turner, 35 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The Mims steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 3rd overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims slid further than he should have, and No. 34 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
They talked themselves into Shemar Turner at pick 103, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A reach for Joshua Gray in the 182nd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Phil Jurkovec
By-the-book stuff, Phil Jurkovec at Round 7, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
