Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Ceaser: A-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Nelson Ceaser at pick 224 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Emeka Egbuka and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in the 35th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick59 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in pick No. 59 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at No. 67 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick90 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A reach for Dominick Puni in Round 3, Pick 27; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 Junior Colson
They jumped the gun on Junior Colson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tyler Guyton
No drama and no debate, Tyler Guyton went about where he belonged in pick 140. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Nice patience on Kamal Hadden, who had no business lasting to the 181st overall pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick224 Rnd7 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser in No. 224 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
