Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots robbed the room for Thrash. Final grade: A.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jamari Thrash at the Round 6 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In slot 30 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kalen King
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kalen King in pick No. 62. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at No. 67 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 30 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Andrew Mukuba at the 103rd pick is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140 Rnd5 KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson in the 140th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick167 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in pick 167 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jamari Thrash
They will replay Jamari Thrash at No. 181 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224 Rnd7 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at pick No. 224 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick233 Rnd7 Tyler Batty
They did well to land Tyler Batty in the 233rd pick, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
