Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Patriots put a flag in the ground for Jalen Travis, 49 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Lambert-Smith pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A big swing on Maxwell Hairston at Round 2, Pick 6, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A tidy little value on Jalen Royals in pick 69, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
A slide stopped in the 77th pick, with Dylan Sampson worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at pick No. 106 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker at slot 144 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick 217 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luke Lachey in pick No. 220. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in No. 238 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
