Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The phones were a trap the Patriots kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

Every board in the league had Harris lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

The Martinez pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Will Campbell
Will Campbell at the 2nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
No edge and no loss on Ashton Gillotte in Round 2, Pick 2; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick No. 40 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick 66 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
No drama and no debate, Jay Higgins went about where he belonged in the 98th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick129 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in No. 129 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Damien Martinez for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd6 Will Lee III
Nothing to complain about; Will Lee III went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick163 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
A straight-up fair deal on Lathan Ransom at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Noah Thomas
Noah Thomas at Round 6, Pick 26 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
