Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureA-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a A-.

The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Jerry Jeudy leading the way.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 15 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Harold Fannin Jr.. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
