Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Styles: B+.

Call it larceny. Sonny Styles sat on the board until the 217th overall pick, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. With edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a featured back, and a steal at that.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Nothing to complain about; Tate Ratledge went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at No. 69 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick105 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots to take Barrett Carter, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick143 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at the 143rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick217 Rnd7 Sonny Styles
They robbed the room for Sonny Styles here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
