Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots robbed the room for Carter. Final grade: A-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Barrett Carter slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at slot 235. Highway robbery. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They are betting Grant proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 7th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
They barely believed it either: Wyatt Milum still on the board at Round 2, Pick 6. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in pick 39 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick70 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Circle this one: Dylan Sampson at No. 70 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick80 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in pick No. 80 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at slot 106 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick141 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Deontae Lawson
They robbed the room for Deontae Lawson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick221 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 7, with Miles Frazier worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at No. 223 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Barrett Carter
They will replay Barrett Carter at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
