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

The Patriots treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 139th pick on Kamal Hadden a full 97 spots early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They went early on J.J. McCarthy in the 36th overall pick, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at slot 45 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A big swing on TreVeyon Henderson at pick 62, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick72 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at No. 72 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97 Rnd3 Audric Estime
A reach for Audric Estime in the 97th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
A straight-up fair deal on Devontez Walker at Round 4, Pick 2, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A real head-scratcher, Kamal Hadden in pick 139 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick223 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit at pick No. 223 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
