Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 144: the Patriots steal Winston Jr. and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kevin Winston Jr. had no business being available in the 144th overall pick, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Oladejo pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 4th overall pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at pick No. 38 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They paid sticker price for Jayden Higgins in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
They let Cameron Williams come to them and pounced at the 77th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at Round 4, Pick 4 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board fumbled Kevin Winston Jr. all the way to slot 144, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
A reach on Ollie Gordon II in No. 165; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
