Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Burden III. Final grade: B.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Luther Burden III, the No. 23 name on the board, in the 69th pick.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Kendall lower, and that gap is the story.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
They took Abdul Carter at par in the 4th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick No. 38 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III in slot 69 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Charles Grant
By-the-book stuff, Charles Grant at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick101 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 3, Pick 37 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tory Horton
They paid sticker price for Tory Horton in pick 106, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
They went early on Andres Borregales in the 144th pick, and the value did not follow. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Drew Kendall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Drew Kendall. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at pick 220 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
