Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Lachey: B.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Luke Lachey, the No. 206 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 224 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A reach for Aireontae Ersery in the 38th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in the 69th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A reasonable price with a little left over, Carson Schwesinger in pick No. 77. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A slide stopped in No. 116, with Lathan Ransom worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick 144 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
Value with a capital V on Joshua Gray in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A conviction pick on Cam Jackson at slot 220 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Luke Lachey in the 224th pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
A tidy little value on Bilhal Kone in No. 238, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
