Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB+ TradesC FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Amos: B+.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Trey Amos, the No. 49 name on the board, sitting there at pick 232 like a gift left on the doorstep. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick19 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 19 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Circle this one: Ashton Jeanty at the 45th pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77 Rnd3 Matthew Golden
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 77 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Armand Membou
Taking Armand Membou in the 106th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 6, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick No. 217 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at No. 220 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Trey Amos
Steal is underselling it; Trey Amos at pick No. 232 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick238 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
You do not let a quarterback like Kurtis Rourke reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
