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

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Patriots reached some 97 spots for Bryson Nesbit, and value like that does not grow back. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid up for T'Vondre Sweat at the 16th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A reach on J.J. McCarthy in slot 34; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick50 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in pick 50 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Bryson Nesbit
A big swing on Bryson Nesbit at No. 208, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick223 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the 223rd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
