Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
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. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

They are betting Beebe proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
No drama and no debate, Taliese Fuaga went about where he belonged in the Round 1 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick34 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in pick 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They left a pile of value on the table to take T'Vondre Sweat this early at Round 2, Pick 5. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reach for Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 53rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 68th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 69 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cooper Beebe. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
No edge and no loss on Blake Fisher in No. 103; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick136 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at Round 5, Pick 3 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 AJ Barner
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on AJ Barner. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
By-the-book stuff, Jabbar Muhammad at pick No. 224 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
