Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC FutureB-
The Patriots won the night they stopped Baker from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Javon Baker, the No. 91 name on the board, in pick No. 137. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Hall left real value on the table behind him.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 11th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 JC Latham
JC Latham slid further than he should have, and the 23rd overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick34 Rnd2 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Somehow Olumuyiwa Fashanu was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 2, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A conviction pick on Michael Hall Jr. at No. 68 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in pick No. 103 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd5 Javon Baker
They robbed the room for Javon Baker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
Steal is underselling it; Jacob Cowing at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at slot 193 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at Round 7, Pick 11 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
