Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Ward: B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Cam Ward, the No. 7 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 178. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The veteran additions, Justin Jefferson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
Fair-plus on Travis Hunter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick22 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 22 they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
You do not let a running back like Ashton Jeanty reach pick No. 38 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Josh Simmons in the 57th pick, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at No. 87 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick104 Rnd4 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in Round 4, Pick 3 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
A tight end of that caliber at slot 119 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the 138th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tre Harris
Taking Tre Harris in slot 139 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick158 Rnd5 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at the 158th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cam Ward
They barely believed it either: Cam Ward still on the board at the 178th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick179 Rnd6 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in pick No. 179 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
