Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

Nobody else had Noah Thomas anywhere near the 130th pick. The Patriots did, by 83 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Carter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The CeeDee Lamb pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in the 26th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick34 Rnd2 Abdul Carter
Value with a capital V on Abdul Carter in pick 34, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jordan Hancock
Fair-plus on Jordan Hancock, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick95 Rnd3 Clay Webb
Good price on Clay Webb in pick No. 95, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
They took Keon Sabb at par in the 98th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 Josaiah Stewart
No drama and no debate, Josaiah Stewart went about where he belonged in No. 127. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd5 Noah Thomas
They reached a country mile for Noah Thomas at No. 130, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
A conviction pick on Tyler Baron at the 159th pick that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194 Rnd7 Will Howard
They let Will Howard come to them and pounced at slot 194. The roster fit checks out.
