Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Patriots let Jackson fall into their laps, and walked away with a C+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Jha'Quan Jackson slide 35 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Every board in the league had Rattler lower, and that gap is the story. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

So much rides on Olumuyiwa Fashanu that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 10th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
Circle this one: Rome Odunze at Round 2, Pick 2 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
This one needs a full-page explanation: Spencer Rattler in the Round 3 slot, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at the 103rd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at No. 139 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A quiet steal in slot 182: Frank Gore Jr. for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at pick No. 224 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in pick 248 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
