Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureC+
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Patriots fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Getting Burden III where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting West proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
No drama and no debate, Abdul Carter went about where he belonged in the Round 1 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick38 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 6: Luther Burden III for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They did well to land Donovan Jackson in the 69th pick, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tai Felton
A tidy little value on Tai Felton in slot 106, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 149 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West at No. 171 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in the 220th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
