Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureA
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Driskell: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ethan Driskell, slot 229, roughly 37 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Spending an early pick on TE-EDGE with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 17 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Troy Franklin at No. 34. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Somehow Kamari Lassiter was still sitting there in the 48th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick68 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Nothing to complain about; Javon Bullard went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cade Stover
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went TE-EDGE with Cade Stover while clear needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick104 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Fair-plus on Audric Estime, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at No. 136 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick182 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They read the board right and Joe Milton III was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ethan Driskell
Steal is underselling it; Ethan Driskell at Round 7, Pick 9 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
