Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The Patriots robbed the room for Smith-Wade. Final grade: B.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Patriots came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Smith-Wade at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In slot 3 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 7, with Troy Franklin worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in pick 103 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They took Ben Sinnott at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick182 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
A cornerback of that caliber at the 182nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jalen Green
Jalen Green slid further than he should have, and No. 224 is lovely value for the safety. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
