Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Woody Marks, No. 217, roughly 24 picks past where he belonged.

Wilson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 4 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Value with a capital V on Emeka Egbuka in slot 38, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
A premium they did not need to pay, Barrett Carter a notch or two before his time. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jared Wilson in the 77th overall pick, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Fair-plus on Malachi Moore, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks in pick No. 217 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Tyler Batty
They talked themselves into Tyler Batty at slot 220, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
Value said wait; Bru McCoy in No. 238 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
