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

The Patriots went off the board in a big way for Bryson Nesbit, 79 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

The veteran additions, Deebo Samuel chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A conviction pick on J.J. McCarthy at pick No. 34 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
They went early on Jack Sawyer in the 63rd overall pick, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
A reach on Devontez Walker in No. 94; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
