Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Sanders: B+.

When a board-topper like Raheim Sanders slides to the 217th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick No. 39 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick45 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
By-the-book stuff, Aireontae Ersery at slot 45 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
They paid sticker price for Barrett Carter in pick 77, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick106 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the 106th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at Round 5, Pick 6 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Raheim Sanders in No. 217, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Steal is underselling it; Upton Stout at the 220th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
