Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Larceny in Round 4, Pick 17 lands the Patriots a D, Johnson and all.

The phones were a trap the Patriots kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The TeSlaa reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Johnson. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 4th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A tidy bit of business in pick 38, where Kenneth Grant graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the 69th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They took Darien Porter at par in pick No. 77, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick90 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Fair-plus on Ozzy Trapilo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at Round 4, Pick 17 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Nice patience on Kurtis Rourke, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jack Kiser in the 191st overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick217 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey is a better player than slot 217 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at No. 220 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
