Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: B+.

The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Kamal Hadden at Round 5, Pick 3 regardless, 97 picks early.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is DeJean.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 10th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at slot 34 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick42 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They went early on Brian Thomas Jr. in pick No. 42, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
This one needs a full-page explanation: Christian Mahogany in pick 66, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Value with a capital V on Cooper DeJean in Round 3, Pick 10, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick102 Rnd4 Audric Estime
They jumped the gun on Audric Estime, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
They reached into another round for Kamal Hadden, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
