Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Nobody had Trey Wedig this high, and it is not close. The Patriots reached 67 spots to get him at pick No. 241. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Value with a capital V on Tre Harris in the 36th overall pick, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at slot 68 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 83rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
A wild overpay on Jay Higgins in No. 105, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick142 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
A real head-scratcher, Dorian Strong in No. 142 is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cashius Howell
Cashius Howell in slot 220 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
Trey Wedig at Round 7, Pick 27 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
