Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC- FutureA
The Patriots robbed the room for Golden. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Matthew Golden tumbling to the Patriots in the Round 2 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In slot 14 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 38th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick45 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
They will replay Matthew Golden at pick No. 45 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They let Alfred Collins come to them and pounced at the 69th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
A straight-up fair deal on Kyle Kennard at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 4: Zy Alexander for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in No. 144 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in pick 217 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick220 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Luke Lachey at pick No. 220 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
The board had Phil Mafah higher than No. 238, and the running back fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
