Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesD+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B-.

The Patriots' one glaring miss is safety, a need they left exactly as they found it.

They will need Burke to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 4th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They took Tre Harris at par in slot 53, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at pick 69 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at Round 4, Pick 4 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jaylin Lane
No edge and no loss on Jaylin Lane in pick No. 121; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones in No. 144 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 James Burnip
A clean, defensible pick in the 171st overall pick with a little surplus value in James Burnip. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
By-the-book stuff, Kyle Monangai at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at the 238th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
