Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Bellamy fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jayden Bellamy at the 195th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tae Johnson
A slide stopped in pick No. 46, with Tae Johnson worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson slipping to the 75th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick112 Rnd4 LJ Martin
LJ Martin in slot 112 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114 Rnd4 Mike Matthews
By-the-book stuff, Mike Matthews at No. 114 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154 Rnd5 Brody Foley
Brody Foley in pick 154 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jayden Virgin-Morgan
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jayden Virgin-Morgan at the 183rd pick is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jayden Bellamy
Circle this one: Jayden Bellamy at Round 6, Pick 14 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick212 Rnd6 Mason Curtis
Somehow Mason Curtis was still sitting there in pick No. 212, and they pounced on premier safety value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Chris Marshall
They let Chris Marshall come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
