Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureB
The Patriots let Lundt fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Chase Lundt, the No. 167 name on the board, stolen at pick 238. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They are betting Kendall proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In slot 17 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 38th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 45th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick69 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They read the board right and TreVeyon Henderson was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in Round 3, Pick 13 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Steal is underselling it; Elic Ayomanor at pick 106 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
They barely believed it either: Andrew Mukuba still on the board at pick No. 144. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Circle this one: Anthony Belton at No. 151 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They reached a country mile for Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 5, Pick 19, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
A reach for Jack Kiser in the 171st overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue at pick 217 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jack Nelson
The board fumbled Jack Nelson all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Drew Kendall this early at No. 235. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Chase Lundt
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Chase Lundt in pick No. 238, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
