Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B to prove it.

The Patriots spent real capital to be 54 picks early on Drew Kendall, and the board is going to hold them to it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Noel pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 4 they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at Round 2, Pick 6 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They liked Ozzy Trapilo enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 69. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel slipping to the 77th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Fair-plus on Jared Wilson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
They did well to land Malachi Moore in the 144th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales at the 171st overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cam Horsley in Round 7, Pick 4, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
They reached a country mile for Drew Kendall at pick 238, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
