Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Marks: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Woody Marks had no business being available in No. 220, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The Felton pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 4 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
The board had cheaper options than Donovan Ezeiruaku at the 38th pick, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
They paid sticker price for Cameron Williams in the 69th overall pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Value said wait; Tai Felton in pick 77 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cobee Bryant. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jonas Sanker in the Round 5 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at slot 217 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks in Round 7, Pick 4 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Shemar James
A straight-up fair deal on Shemar James at Round 7, Pick 22, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
