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

The Patriots torched the value chart for Drew Kendall, taking him 55 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Warren. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 14th pick they get a three-down second-level presence, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick24 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 24th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to pick 38, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in pick No. 45 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A premium they did not need to pay, Ozzy Trapilo a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at No. 106 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at Round 5, Pick 6 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217 Rnd7 Ricky White III
No edge and no loss on Ricky White III in slot 217; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A reach on Isaac TeSlaa in pick 220; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They talked themselves into Hayden Conner at pick No. 232, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall at the 238th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
