Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Patriots.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Cam Horsley; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 28 spots ahead at No. 220. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Grant steal is the beam this whole class leans on. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 4 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emeka Egbuka at the Round 2 slot is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
Fair-plus on Wyatt Milum, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Darien Porter
No edge and no loss on Darien Porter in slot 77; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick106 Rnd4 Charles Grant
They let Charles Grant come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 4. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
The board had cheaper options than Andres Borregales at the 144th overall pick, and it noticed. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick171 Rnd5 Drew Kendall
A big swing on Drew Kendall at slot 171, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at pick 220 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jackson Hawes well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
