Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA
The Patriots let Hadden fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Kamal Hadden at the 193rd overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Rattler has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 13th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Value with a capital V on Amarius Mims in No. 34, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick44 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in Round 2, Pick 12, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
No edge and no loss on Ja'Lynn Polk in the 68th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at slot 77 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
They paid up for Spencer Rattler at pick 105 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at pick No. 137 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick181 Rnd6 AJ Barner
AJ Barner slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 6 is lovely value for the tight end. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Taking Kamal Hadden in slot 193 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at pick No. 231 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
