Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots robbed the room for Carter. Final grade: A-.

Call it larceny. Barrett Carter sat on the board until pick No. 160, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Reaching for Igbinosun left real value on the table behind him.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 12th pick they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in No. 37 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Nice patience on Emeka Egbuka, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 6. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at slot 77 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
A safety of that caliber at the 104th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132 Rnd4 Lander Barton
The board had Lander Barton higher than pick No. 132, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick143 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick160 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in pick 160 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick178 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Davison Igbinosun well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson slipping to the 216th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd7 Nick Nash
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nick Nash this early at Round 7, Pick 1. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Circle this one: Ollie Gordon II at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
They robbed the room for Jonah Monheim here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks at slot 247 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
