Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA
Sampson should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dylan Sampson slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at Round 4, Pick 14. Highway robbery.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Ayomanor lower, and that gap is the story.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 12th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
A premium they did not need to pay, Colston Loveland a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick43 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malaki Starks in No. 43, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the 70th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They paid up for Jake Majors at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at slot 80 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
Circle this one: Dylan Sampson at pick No. 115 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
