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

The Patriots spent real capital to be 44 picks early on Jamaree Caldwell, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Patriots indulged a want in Lawson while a need in edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots stayed open. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Landing Lawson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 4 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They read the board right and Jalon Walker was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick69 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the 69th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Darien Porter
By-the-book stuff, Darien Porter at pick 77 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick105 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
A curious use of slot 105. Edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Deontae Lawson did not.
Pick217 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
A quiet steal in the 217th overall pick: Trevor Etienne for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and DJ Campbell at the 220th overall pick is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at slot 241 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
