Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedA- TradesD- FutureB-
The Patriots lost the trade table, and the C+ tells the story.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Patriots, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Conerly Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 4th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In the 24th overall pick they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
They did well to land Jalen Royals in slot 69, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech slid further than he should have, and pick No. 77 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They paid sticker price for Cam Skattebo in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II in No. 217 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III in Round 7, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
No edge and no loss on Jabbar Muhammad in pick 238; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
