Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
Grand theft in the 103rd overall pick: the Patriots steal Carson and grade out a A-.

The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Caelen Carson fell into Round 4, Pick 3.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will need McClellan to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Rome Odunze and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 15th pick they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
By-the-book stuff, Byron Murphy II at Round 3, Pick 3 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Somehow Caelen Carson was still sitting there in pick 103, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick110 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at pick No. 110 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 140th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A reach on Jase McClellan in No. 181; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Zion Nelson worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
