Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueA NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Patriots robbed the room for James. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jordan James, the No. 56 name on the board, stolen at pick 236.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 14 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at the Round 2 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick71 Rnd3 Shemar Stewart
They will replay Shemar Stewart at slot 71 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in Round 3, Pick 13 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They robbed the room for Xavier Watts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Ajani Cornelius in pick 142, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jihaad Campbell
You do not let a linebacker like Jihaad Campbell reach the 219th overall pick and blink. They did not. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick222 Rnd7 Trey Amos
The board fumbled Trey Amos all the way to No. 222, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jordan James
Jordan James at the 236th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
