Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Steven Parker in pick No. 220, a good 100 spots before the room expected him.

Landing Barron that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him.
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the 39th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jordan James
Jordan James at the 72nd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick 86 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick107 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
They robbed the room for Denzel Burke here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick108 Rnd4 Clay Webb
The board fumbled Clay Webb all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Steal is underselling it; Deontae Lawson at Round 5, Pick 6 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick218 Rnd7 Gunnar Helm
Taking Gunnar Helm in the 218th pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Steven Parker
Steven Parker at slot 220 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
They took Kyren Lacy at par in pick 236, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
They went early on Jamaree Caldwell in the 256th overall pick, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
