Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Carter. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Barrett Carter slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at Round 5, Pick 6. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They are betting Morris proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 4th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
No edge and no loss on Matthew Golden in pick No. 38; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Charles Grant
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Charles Grant. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
Value said wait; Luke Kandra in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in the 104th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
You do not let a linebacker like Barrett Carter reach Round 5, Pick 6 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick217 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shilo Sanders this early at slot 217. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
They went early on Bryson Nesbit in pick 220, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris in the 238th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
