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

The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

The Beebe pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A clean, defensible pick in No. 34 with a little surplus value in Troy Fautanu. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick42 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Adonai Mitchell in the 42nd overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at slot 59 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick 68 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
