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

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Patriots, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They banked enough surplus on Hartman to cover a lot of smaller sins. The veteran additions, Kayvon Thibodeaux chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 11 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They did well to land Brian Thomas Jr. in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton slid further than he should have, and pick No. 50 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A clean, defensible pick in the 97th overall pick with a little surplus value in Zak Zinter. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 4, Pick 3 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
A straight-up fair deal on Kamal Hadden at pick 136, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in the 139th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick182 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Fair-plus on Curtis Jacobs, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick224 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Sam Hartman at slot 224 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
