Draft Grade — Patriots

FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a B+. The Davin Vann selection is the head-turner. The Patriots reached 57 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The Walker pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a security blanket over the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
A tidy bit of business in slot 38, where Emeka Egbuka graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to pick 44, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick57
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
A tidy little value on TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 57, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69
Rnd3
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at No. 69 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74
Rnd3
Tre Harris
They read the board right and Tre Harris was the payoff at the 74th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jack Bech
Nice patience on Jack Bech, who had no business lasting to slot 77. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
They did well to land Maxwell Hairston in the 78th pick, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick106
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
Fair-plus on Lathan Ransom, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144
Rnd5
Cody Simon
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cody Simon at the Round 5 slot. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick204
Rnd6
Caleb Rogers
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 28 with a little surplus value in Caleb Rogers. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217
Rnd7
Davin Vann
Davin Vann at pick 217 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220
Rnd7
Ricky White III
A straight-up fair deal on Ricky White III at No. 220, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238
Rnd7
Donovan Smith
They reached a country mile for Donovan Smith at the 238th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
