Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Patriots got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

The Malik Verdon pick is the one that will follow the Patriots into the fall. They took him 82 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

However the rest shakes out, McCord at that price is a win they earned.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 7 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III slipping to slot 38 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick41 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick42 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A reach on Donovan Ezeiruaku in Round 2, Pick 10; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at the 144th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah at pick 161 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in the 216th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Malik Verdon
A real head-scratcher, Malik Verdon in Round 7, Pick 22 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
