Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 69 lands the Patriots a B-, Nolen and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Walter Nolen slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at slot 69. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Horsley pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Travis Hunter. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick38 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
No drama and no debate, Aireontae Ersery went about where he belonged in the 38th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at pick 69 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A slide stopped in No. 106, with Kevin Winston Jr. worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They let Anthony Belton come to them and pounced at pick No. 122. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
The board had cheaper options than Andres Borregales at the 144th pick, and it noticed. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick171 Rnd5 Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall at slot 171 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cam Horsley. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Steal is underselling it; Luke Lachey at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
