Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureA+
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Patriots skipped the loudest one: edge rusher is exactly as bare as it was. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Golden falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 24 they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jayden Higgins at the Round 3 slot is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
