Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Everything else got attention, and interior defensive lineman got none. That is a strange way for the Patriots to leave a draft. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The cost of the Higgins reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 4th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jayden Higgins this early at the 38th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
