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

The Justin Eboigbe pick is the one that will follow the Patriots into the fall. They took him 62 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

On value alone, Walker makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
No edge and no loss on Marvin Harrison Jr. in No. 2; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A reach on J.J. McCarthy in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66 Rnd3 Troy Fautanu
Somehow Troy Fautanu was still sitting there in the 66th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Payton Wilson this early at pick No. 118. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick139 Rnd5 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at slot 139 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They robbed the room for Jason Marshall Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Briningstool. The roster fit checks out.
Pick210 Rnd6 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 210 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
