Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Patriots let Lachey fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Luke Lachey, the Round 7 slot, roughly 50 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

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

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
No drama and no debate, Abdul Carter went about where he belonged in slot 4. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalon Walker in No. 38. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tre Harris in the 69th overall pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach pick 81 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Taking Ozzy Trapilo in the 105th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
They barely believed it either: Lathan Ransom still on the board at pick No. 145. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at Round 7, Pick 1 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Steal is underselling it; Jaylen Reed at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
They robbed the room for Luke Lachey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
