Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

Some picks age like wine; Rylie Mills at the Round 7 slot will need to, sitting 176 spots clear of his grade. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In No. 6 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at slot 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
A wild overpay on Ladd McConkey in the 38th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
They did well to land Cooper DeJean in Round 3, Pick 2, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick70 Rnd3 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in pick No. 70 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in pick 102 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in slot 139 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ricky Pearsall
Value said wait; Ricky Pearsall in the 180th overall pick says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in Round 7, Pick 3 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
