Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Patriots bet big and early on Tanner McLachlan, 43 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

On value alone, Nubin makes the weekend a net positive. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They went early on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 34th pick, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick61 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
The board fumbled Tyler Nubin all the way to No. 61, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in pick 68 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
No edge and no loss on Christian Mahogany in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103 Rnd4 Marshawn Kneeland
No drama and no debate, Marshawn Kneeland went about where he belonged in pick No. 103. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
By-the-book stuff, Ben Sinnott at slot 139 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in the 182nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
A real head-scratcher, Tanner McLachlan in pick No. 224 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
