Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueD NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Anthony Belton in Round 5, Pick 1, a good 104 spots before the room expected him.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 24 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
A reach on Colston Loveland in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They talked themselves into Tyler Warren at Round 3, Pick 3, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at pick 97 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at slot 103 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick112 Rnd4 LT Overton
They reached a country mile for LT Overton at pick No. 112, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in slot 139 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
A straight-up fair deal on Lathan Ransom at the 148th pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at Round 7, Pick 3 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kaden Prather well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dont'e Thornton Jr.. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jaylin Noel
A wild overpay on Jaylin Noel in No. 241, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
