Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: B+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Patriots spent pick 232 on Ethan Downs, a name the board had a full 54 spots lower.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Edwards falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Warren went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at slot 38 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick45 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at the 45th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tre Harris
A reach on Tre Harris in the 51st overall pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A real head-scratcher, Cam Skattebo in pick 69 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Value said wait; Tez Johnson in No. 77 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A big swing on Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick No. 106, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
They paid sticker price for Dorian Strong in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at pick 144 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at slot 217 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
No drama and no debate, Carson Vinson went about where he belonged in the 220th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs at Round 7, Pick 16 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 238th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
