Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Patriots put a flag in the ground for Ty Robinson, 20 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Jackson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 4 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick 38 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
The board had Jayden Higgins higher than Round 3, Pick 5, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Nice patience on Donovan Jackson, who had no business lasting to the 77th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Nothing to complain about; Cam Skattebo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
They reached into another round for Ty Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Ricky White III
No edge and no loss on Ricky White III in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
No drama and no debate, Craig Woodson went about where he belonged in slot 220. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
A real head-scratcher, Cody Lindenberg in pick 238 is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
