Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesC+ FutureA
The Patriots won the night they stopped Zvada from sliding. Grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dominic Zvada, the 238th pick, roughly 143 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Reaching for Johnson left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In the 14th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick38 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
No drama and no debate, Matthew Golden went about where he belonged in pick No. 38. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A conviction pick on Trey Amos at slot 45 that the board grades a round light. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
A real head-scratcher, Tez Johnson in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick 77 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick104 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Kandra. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Oronde Gadsden II at Round 5, Pick 6. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at No. 217 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Carson Schwesinger
The board fumbled Carson Schwesinger all the way to slot 220, and they scooped it up. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
