Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: B.

The Patriots spent real capital to be 36 picks early on Brian Thomas Jr., and the board is going to hold them to it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. On value alone, Mims makes the weekend a net positive. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
No edge and no loss on Joe Alt in the 3rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick35 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They talked themselves into Brian Thomas Jr. at Round 2, Pick 3, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at pick No. 67 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in pick 103 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at No. 140 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Christian Mahogany
They paid sticker price for Christian Mahogany in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
