Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in slot 144 lands the Patriots a B+, Felton and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tai Felton, Round 5, Pick 6, roughly 45 picks past where he belonged.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If Watson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The Justin Jefferson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
A straight-up fair deal on Jalon Walker at No. 24, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick38 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the 38th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Donovan Jackson in pick 69. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
A tight end of that caliber at slot 77 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
No edge and no loss on Anthony Belton in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tai Felton
They robbed the room for Tai Felton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
They paid sticker price for Ollie Gordon II in the 171st overall pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
They went early on Desmond Watson in pick No. 220, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
They liked Jabbar Muhammad enough to skip the value, taking him in the 238th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
