Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Johnson: B.

The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kaleb Johnson fell into No. 77.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
They will replay Josh Simmons at slot 38 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They robbed the room for Kaleb Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
