Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureA+
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B+ to prove it.

The Patriots bet big and early on Oluwafemi Oladejo, 72 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The Watts value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 25 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
A straight-up fair deal on Benjamin Morrison at pick No. 38, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
They did well to land Marcus Mbow in the 58th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They talked themselves into Oluwafemi Oladejo at Round 3, Pick 5, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in slot 77 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Anthony Belton. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at slot 144 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
The board had Luke Lachey higher than the Round 7 slot, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah in the 220th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Fair-plus on Isaac TeSlaa, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
