Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Patriots clearly saw something nobody else did in Bryson Nesbit, taking him 123 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. 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
Pick22 Rnd1 Graham Barton
No drama and no debate, Graham Barton went about where he belonged in the 22nd overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick34 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Brian Thomas Jr. in pick No. 34 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the 57th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Good price on Cooper DeJean in Round 3, Pick 2, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick86 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at slot 86 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
Nothing to complain about; Devontez Walker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kamal Hadden this early at pick 139. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A reach on Ben Sinnott in Round 5, Pick 10; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Bryson Nesbit
A big swing on Bryson Nesbit at slot 180, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick223 Rnd7 Christian Jones
A wild overpay on Christian Jones in No. 223, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
