Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: A-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Patriots did exactly that with Vernon Broughton in pick 151.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 12th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emeka Egbuka at pick No. 38 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Nice patience on Tre Harris, who had no business lasting to slot 69. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They let Quinshon Judkins come to them and pounced at the 77th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A real head-scratcher, Hollin Pierce in Round 4, Pick 15 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
A reach on Tyler Baron in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in No. 151 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
