Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: B+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Patriots took Julian Fleming a full 138 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The Smith steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 5 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker slid further than he should have, and slot 38 is lovely value for the linebacker. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick69 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in No. 69 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Emery Jones Jr.. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Somehow Malachi Moore was still sitting there in the 104th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Hayden Conner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Conner this early at pick No. 117. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143 Rnd5 Julian Fleming
Julian Fleming at the 143rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in No. 178 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216 Rnd6 Kamren Fabiculanan
They reached into another round for Kamren Fabiculanan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick217 Rnd7 Ben Sauls
Circle this one: Ben Sauls at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick220 Rnd7 Brashard Smith
You do not let a running back like Brashard Smith reach Round 7, Pick 4 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Desmond Evans
Desmond Evans at pick 238 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
