Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: A.

The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Tyler Batty at Round 7, Pick 8 regardless, 74 picks early. Very little went wrong, and the A is earned.

The James value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick 6 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III in the 38th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at slot 76 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jordan James
They barely believed it either: Jordan James still on the board at No. 105. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Zuhn III. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to pick No. 219, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at Round 7, Pick 8 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick237 Rnd7 Duce Chestnut
They went early on Duce Chestnut in the 237th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
