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

The Patriots treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 80 on LT Overton a full 80 spots early.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On value alone, Walker makes the weekend a net positive.

The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
A big swing on Abdul Carter at the Round 1 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick36 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
They reached into another round for Colston Loveland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick55 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Deone Walker at slot 55. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Warren in the 67th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80 Rnd3 LT Overton
LT Overton at Round 3, Pick 16 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Derrick Harmon
A wild overpay on Derrick Harmon in pick No. 99, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jihaad Campbell. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick125 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the 125th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jonah Coleman
The board had cheaper options than Jonah Coleman at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd7 Anthony Belton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Anthony Belton in No. 217, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jayden Higgins
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jayden Higgins this early at pick 220. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 235th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
