Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Patriots bet big and early on Malik Washington, 189 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In slot 21 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A premium they did not need to pay, J.J. McCarthy a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
They took Devontez Walker at par in pick 102, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick224 Rnd7 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in the 224th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
