Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesD FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B-.

The Patriots bet big and early on Donovan Smith, 31 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 14 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They reached a country mile for Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 7, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in the 69th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Quinshon Judkins in pick 77. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
By-the-book stuff, Anthony Belton at the 106th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at No. 144 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at pick No. 217 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They talked themselves into Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick238 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Donovan Smith this early at Round 7, Pick 22. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
They let Jermari Harris come to them and pounced at pick 240. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
