Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
Larceny in No. 139 lands the Patriots a A-, Goncalves and all.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Matt Goncalves, the No. 104 name on the board, sitting there at the 139th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They will need Puni to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick34 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at Round 2, Pick 2 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick46 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They let Emeka Egbuka come to them and pounced at pick No. 46. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick51 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A quiet steal in the 51st pick: J.J. McCarthy for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kiran Amegadjie at No. 68 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dominick Puni. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
Steal is underselling it; Michael Pratt at pick 103 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at the 119th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Matt Goncalves
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 139th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 Malik Washington
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malik Washington at the 172nd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick182 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
Taking LaDarius Henderson in pick No. 182 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at Round 6, Pick 22 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick224 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau at pick 224 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
