Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Grand theft in the 150th overall pick: the Patriots steal James and grade out a A-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jordan James slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at No. 150. Highway robbery. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

Reaching for Carroll left real value on the table behind him. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, with Abdul Carter leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Nice patience on Shavon Revel Jr., who had no business lasting to the 36th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at No. 44 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at slot 68 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 84th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Clay Webb
Somehow Clay Webb was still sitting there in pick 94, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
Steal is underselling it; Jay Higgins at pick No. 120 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jordan James
Jordan James in Round 5, Pick 12 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Quinn Carroll
A real head-scratcher, Quinn Carroll in No. 169 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 6, Pick 17 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 David Walker
David Walker at the 209th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in pick 220 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyren Lacy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Zach Rice
Zach Rice in the 241st overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
