Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Felton fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somebody in No. 144 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while Tai Felton, the No. 99 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Vinson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 38th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at the 81st pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Value with a capital V on Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 106, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They read the board right and Jordan Phillips was the payoff at pick No. 119. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at pick 144 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They paid sticker price for Ajani Cornelius in slot 171, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
A conviction pick on Carson Vinson at No. 220 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam slipping to pick 238 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
