Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: C+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: J.J. Weaver, 52 picks early at No. 167.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

So much rides on Kelvin Banks Jr. that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 7 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in slot 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at the 66th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Quincy Riley
Good price on Quincy Riley in Round 3, Pick 7, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick98 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore in the 98th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd5 Fernando Carmona Jr.
Fair-plus on Fernando Carmona Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick167 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in No. 194 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
