Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots won the night they stopped Edwards from sliding. Grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Donovan Edwards had no business being available in the 240th pick, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Reaching for Parr left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Abdul Carter. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in pick 38 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
Good price on Xavier Restrepo in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at the 77th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at pick No. 105 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jordan James
Circle this one: Jordan James at Round 5, Pick 6 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Value said wait; Clay Webb in slot 219 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 Logan Parr
Logan Parr in the 222nd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
You do not let a running back like Donovan Edwards reach pick No. 240 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
