Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
Grand theft in the 144th overall pick: the Patriots steal Farmer and grade out a A-.

The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Joshua Farmer fell into No. 144. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. More want than need.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in pick 45 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick54 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at slot 54 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tre Harris in the 69th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at pick No. 77 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Nice patience on Kevin Winston Jr., who had no business lasting to No. 106. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
They will replay Joshua Farmer at the 144th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
The board had cheaper options than Carson Vinson at the 220th pick, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
By-the-book stuff, Desmond Watson at the 232nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
Sam Brown Jr. in Round 7, Pick 22 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
