Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Patriots.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Patriots started one anyway for Tosh Baker, 105 picks ahead of schedule.

The Hampton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Abdul Carter. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
A slide stopped in pick 38, with Walter Nolen worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
They robbed the room for Omarion Hampton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A tidy bit of business in No. 77, where Jalen Royals graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild slipping to the 105th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick145 Rnd5 Tosh Baker
Tosh Baker in the 145th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
