Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Patriots came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

Getting Johnson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 25 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They jumped the gun on J.J. McCarthy, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
No drama and no debate, Tyler Guyton went about where he belonged in No. 57. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Good price on Cooper DeJean in Round 3, Pick 3, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick103 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
They went early on Donovan Jackson in the 103rd pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
They paid a round early for Cole Bishop in the 140th overall pick, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at pick No. 181 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cornelius Johnson at the Round 7 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
