Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureF
Grand theft in Round 6, Pick 37: the Patriots steal Barron and grade out a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jahdae Barron got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at the 213th overall pick.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter at pick No. 4 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick17 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
The board fumbled Ashton Jeanty all the way to slot 38, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Armand Membou
Armand Membou in pick 69 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 77th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick144 Rnd5 Colston Loveland
Somehow Colston Loveland was still sitting there in No. 144, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Aireontae Ersery
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 33 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick180 Rnd6 Walter Nolen
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach the 180th overall pick and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jahdae Barron
Circle this one: Jahdae Barron at Round 6, Pick 37 is a fall that decides a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick220 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
They will replay T.J. Sanders at slot 220 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jack Bech
Taking Jack Bech in the 238th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
