Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
Johnson should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B.

The real work happened on the phones. The Patriots fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

Johnson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Reaching for Martin left real value on the table behind him.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 16 they get a security blanket over the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They paid sticker price for Tyler Booker in pick 33, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at pick No. 67 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in Round 4, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A straight-up fair deal on Nick Nash at slot 144, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick217 Rnd7 Ricky White III
No edge and no loss on Ricky White III in the 217th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A reach on Cam Jackson in Round 7, Pick 4; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mac McWilliams. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick255 Rnd7 Nick Martin
Nick Martin in the 255th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
