Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Patriots to a C-.

The Patriots went off the board in a big way for Jonah Monheim, 67 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A weekend of give and take that grades a C-.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Getting Bech where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 4th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They took Jihaad Campbell at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A reach for Ozzy Trapilo in Round 3, Pick 5; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They paid a round early for Charles Grant in pick 77, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Taking Jack Bech in No. 91 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jonah Monheim in pick No. 106, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
A reasonable price with a little left over, LeQuint Allen in the 144th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 Que Robinson
A big swing on Que Robinson at pick 171, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in the 220th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
They reached a country mile for Marcus Yarns at Round 7, Pick 22, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
