Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Patriots.

Some picks age like wine; Donovan Jackson at pick 39 will need to, sitting 27 spots clear of his grade. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Higgins steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
No edge and no loss on Abdul Carter in No. 4; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Jackson. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A slide stopped in slot 69, with Jayden Higgins worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They took Ozzy Trapilo at par in the 77th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
They paid a round early for Denzel Burke in Round 4, Pick 4, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick144 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They liked Bhayshul Tuten enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 144. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ollie Gordon II. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey slipping to pick No. 220 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in slot 238 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
