I decided to do things a bit different this year, so here's the prelim stuff:
1) This is value based on the Patriots roster as of right now, 3:48 PM on April 14.
2) It is Patriots-specific, based on their current offensive and defensive schemes. Which is why you'll see Sam Bradford with a 4th round grade.
3) For the sake of preserving bandwith, I've limited my picks for 7th/UDFA values to three per position and taken guys such as Trevard Lindley, whom will almost certainly be drafted, off those lists. In fact, I tried to take the longview with those guys, ones who figure can improve with better coaching and better health, as opposed to someone who might be in better shape to contribute right now.
4) I really can't evaluate K/P/LS. I think a punter is in the cards. Matt Dodge of East Carolina is my favorite, but it's not like I've watched him take 100 snaps and punts from different distances and weather conditions.
5) Since last year, I've created a new position, which is denoted here as H-B, just to separate in-line tight ends from "move" tight ends (which is the new "shutdown" corner").
6) Here is the important part, and major change. I've attempted to make this a "living" draft board. That is, some values will fluctuate (downwards) after each draft pick. The values you see are factored with the assumption that that particular position hasn't been drafted yet. For example, if we draft Sam Bradford in the fourth, all other quarterbacks fall to UDFAs. For another, more realistic example, if a defensive end is drafted in round two, the other defensive ends on the board will lose at least a half-round worth of value, and perhaps considerably more. I think this is a realistic approach. I can't imagine Belichick will draft four safeties because they happen to be the best value at the time.
7) I am not a professional.
