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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kitan Oladapo tumbling to the Patriots in the 182nd overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Patriots indulged a want in Solomon while a need in edge rusher, quarterback and other spots stayed open. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 8th pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 34th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick43 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in pick No. 43 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A straight-up fair deal on Brenden Rice at pick 68, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
No edge and no loss on Ben Sinnott in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
A safety of that caliber at No. 182 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell in Round 6, Pick 13 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin at the 224th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
