Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
The Patriots won the night they stopped Carter from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Barrett Carter got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at slot 236.

The cost of the Hancock reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 9 they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They let Tate Ratledge come to them and pounced at the 40th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Warren this early at Round 2, Pick 9. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
They reached a country mile for Jalon Walker at pick 72, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jordan Hancock
A big swing on Jordan Hancock at No. 86, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
They talked themselves into Jayden Higgins at the 108th overall pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
A wild overpay on Nazir Stackhouse in pick No. 144, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
They barely believed it either: Jonah Monheim still on the board at the Round 7 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
They will replay Jake Briningstool at pick No. 220 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Barrett Carter
The board fumbled Barrett Carter all the way to the 236th pick, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick256 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
Value said wait; Kaden Prather in No. 256 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
