Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA
Larceny in the 238th pick lands the Patriots a B, Brooks and all.

Somebody in the 238th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while Tahj Brooks, the No. 199 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Joyner has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
Good price on Matthew Golden in No. 17, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick38 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons in slot 38 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They paid sticker price for JT Tuimoloau in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick No. 69 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tre Harris
A slide stopped in the 77th pick, with Tre Harris worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in Round 3, Pick 26 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the 106th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They let Cam Skattebo come to them and pounced at pick 127. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
Jah Joyner at pick 144 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick201 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
A tidy little value on Tyler Cooper in Round 6, Pick 25, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at slot 217 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick220 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
They took Robert Longerbeam at par in pick No. 220, which is nothing to complain about. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at No. 238 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
