Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesC+ FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jalon Walker, the No. 24 name on the board, in the 69th overall pick.

They will need Conner to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at the 4th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick38 Rnd2 Will Campbell
The board fumbled Will Campbell all the way to pick 38, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at the 69th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick77 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 77 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in Round 4, Pick 28 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nick Nash. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in No. 217 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Value said wait; Hayden Conner in slot 220 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
A straight-up fair deal on CJ Dippre at pick 238, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
