Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 220: the Patriots steal Zvada and grade out a B.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Dominic Zvada, the No. 95 name on the board, in the Round 7 slot. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting Amos proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 6 they get protection for the quarterback, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
The board had Emeka Egbuka higher than the 37th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38 Rnd2 Trey Amos
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Amos this early at pick 38. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach Round 3, Pick 5 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
They jumped the gun on Tez Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the 104th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in No. 143 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at slot 178 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick217 Rnd7 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick 217 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
They robbed the room for Dominic Zvada here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick238 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Raheim Sanders in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
