Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureA
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B.

The Patriots bet big and early on Drew Kendall, 55 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Getting Warren where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In slot 14 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at Round 2, Pick 6. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 45 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at pick 69 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
No drama and no debate, Ozzy Trapilo went about where he belonged in the 77th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106 Rnd4 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen at pick No. 106 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
They paid a round early for Tyler Baron in the 144th pick, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
The board had Caleb Ransaw higher than Round 7, Pick 1, and the safety fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
They liked Desmond Watson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 220. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at slot 232 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick238 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall at pick 238 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
