Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
Nobody dealt better than the Patriots this weekend: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Patriots spent slot 143 on Miles Frazier, a name most had 58 spots down the list.

Walker falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 6th pick they get a problem off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick15 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
They paid sticker price for Wyatt Milum in pick No. 15, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick37 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at the 37th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They paid a round early for Darien Porter in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at pick 77 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick143 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
They left a pile of value on the table to take Miles Frazier this early at No. 143. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at pick 217 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Max Brosmer
Value said wait; Max Brosmer in Round 7, Pick 22 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
