New England Patriots

A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a A-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jalen McLeod, 50 picks early at Round 5, Pick 6.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That Monangai pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.1 · Pick 33 · Jahdae Barron · CB · rank 12
Circle this one: Jahdae Barron at pick 33 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 38
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Booker at No. 38 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jonah Savaiinaea · OT · rank 45
Jonah Savaiinaea at pick No. 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Alfred Collins · DT · rank 56
Alfred Collins slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Harold Fannin Jr. · TE · rank 52
The board fumbled Harold Fannin Jr. all the way to Round 3, Pick 13, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 69
Andrew Mukuba at the 94th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Donovan Jackson · OT · rank 86
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Donovan Jackson in pick No. 105, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
R5.6 · Pick 145 · Jalen McLeod · LB-EDGE · rank 195
They reached a country mile for Jalen McLeod at slot 145, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.1 · Pick 219 · Ricky White III · WR · rank 206
Ricky White III in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.4 · Pick 222 · Teddye Buchanan · LB · rank 236
A premium they did not need to pay, Teddye Buchanan a notch or two before his time. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R7.22 · Pick 240 · Kyle Monangai · RB · rank 204
They barely believed it either: Kyle Monangai still on the board at the 240th pick. It fills a real need, too.
