Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: B.

Some picks age like wine; R.J. Mickens at the Round 5 slot will need to, sitting 69 spots clear of his grade. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Carter pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

It is not that Carter is a bad player; it is that the Patriots had louder needs to answer first.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 14th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A reach on Ozzy Trapilo in No. 69; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at slot 77 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Barrett Carter while clear needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick135 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They paid sticker price for Malachi Moore in pick No. 135, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144 Rnd5 R.J. Mickens
They reached a country mile for R.J. Mickens at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at No. 217 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
They robbed the room for Tahj Brooks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
