Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
Larceny in the 217th pick lands the Patriots a A-, Barton and all.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Lander Barton, the No. 123 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 1 like a gift left on the doorstep. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

Every board in the league had Parker lower, and that gap is the story. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker slipping to the 38th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at the 65th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Charles Grant
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Charles Grant. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
The board fumbled Xavier Watts all the way to No. 77, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
They paid up for Ajani Cornelius at pick No. 87 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103 Rnd4 Deone Walker
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Deone Walker in Round 4, Pick 2, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in slot 104 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at the 134th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick143 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Circle this one: Quinshon Judkins at Round 5, Pick 6 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in No. 153 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick219 Rnd7 Steven Parker
Steven Parker at pick No. 219 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai in slot 220 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Aydan White
They talked themselves into Aydan White at pick 238, and the board did not agree. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
