Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Barton fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Lander Barton, the No. 129 name on the board, in pick 217. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If Thornton Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in slot 38 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
The board fumbled Omarion Hampton all the way to pick No. 69, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 77th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick105 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 105 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Danny Stutsman in the 143rd pick, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick220 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Circle this one: Oronde Gadsden II at pick 220 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241 Rnd7 Javontez Spraggins
A real head-scratcher, Javontez Spraggins in the 241st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
