Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Smith-Wade should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a A-.

The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

Landing Smith-Wade that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In the 25th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Braswell. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They paid sticker price for Tyler Guyton in No. 39, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 25. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
No drama and no debate, Jaheim Bell went about where he belonged in pick 135. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd5 Beaux Limmer
A straight-up fair deal on Beaux Limmer at the 139th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in Round 5, Pick 23 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
You do not let a cornerback like Chau Smith-Wade reach No. 182 and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick217 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
A quiet steal in pick 217: Sam Hartman for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in the 224th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
