Draft Grade — Patriots

The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on J.J. Weaver; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 89 spots ahead at No. 256. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That Moore pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at Round 2, Pick 9 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in the 72nd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the 86th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at pick No. 108 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in slot 144 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick218 Rnd7 Aydan White
They left a pile of value on the table to take Aydan White this early at Round 7, Pick 4. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick220 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick236 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyren Lacy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick256 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
A wild overpay on J.J. Weaver in pick No. 256, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
