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

There is reaching, and then there is Bryson Nesbit at pick 223. The Patriots jumped the board by 80 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dallas Turner at the 34th pick is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They paid sticker price for J.J. McCarthy in the 41st overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick42 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A conviction pick on Brian Thomas Jr. at No. 42 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Nothing to complain about; Cooper DeJean went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
A real head-scratcher, Kamal Hadden in Round 6, Pick 29 is miles ahead of his ranking. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick223 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bryson Nesbit in slot 223, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
