Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Patriots took Malik Washington at the 224th pick, roughly 189 spots before his name belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In slot 31 they get a disruptive interior force. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They went early on J.J. McCarthy in the 35th pick, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
They took Byron Murphy II at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224 Rnd7 Malik Washington
A big swing on Malik Washington at pick 224, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
They did well to land Kamal Hadden in Round 7, Pick 23, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick248 Rnd7 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in No. 248 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
