Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
Carter should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B.

Somebody in the 220th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while Barrett Carter, the No. 80 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Mbow pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 4 they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
A conviction pick on Marcus Mbow at the 44th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Steal is underselling it; Tre Harris at pick No. 69 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson slipping to the 77th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at Round 4, Pick 4 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd7 Upton Stout
A safety of that caliber at pick 217 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220 Rnd7 Barrett Carter
The board fumbled Barrett Carter all the way to No. 220, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick238 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike in Round 7, Pick 22 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at pick 247 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
