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

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Patriots, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

Yarns has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Thornton Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at the 38th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylin Noel in the 69th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at pick 77 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Anthony Belton. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick144 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
Fair-plus on LeQuint Allen, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Que Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Que Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick201 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
A real head-scratcher, Marcus Yarns in slot 238 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
