Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Patriots let Giddens fall and pounced. Final grade: D.

The phones were a trap the Patriots kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

If Fairchild pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Campbell pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman. Giddens at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

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
Pick6 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In slot 6 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. in Round 2, Pick 4 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick37 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
They reached into another round for Dylan Fairchild, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67 Rnd3 Josaiah Stewart
The board had Josaiah Stewart higher than pick No. 67, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
Somehow Emery Jones Jr. was still sitting there in pick 93, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A slide stopped in the 103rd overall pick, with Kevin Winston Jr. worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Danny Stutsman at Round 4, Pick 5 is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent pick 134 on Jihaad Campbell, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
They liked Tez Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 139th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jack Bech
A clean, defensible pick in No. 153 with a little surplus value in Jack Bech. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162 Rnd5 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison in slot 162 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick192 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
Circle this one: DJ Giddens at the 192nd pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in pick No. 220 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick235 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Taking Shilo Sanders in No. 235 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
