Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureA
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B.

The Patriots torched the value chart for Que Robinson, taking him 107 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Reed steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Campbell
Will Campbell at Round 1, Pick 14 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick22 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In No. 22 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at the 38th pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Trey Amos
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Trey Amos in slot 69, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick106 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They let Savion Williams come to them and pounced at pick No. 106. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144 Rnd5 Que Robinson
Value said wait; Que Robinson in pick 144 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jack Nelson
Taking Jack Nelson in slot 217 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in No. 220 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jarquez Hunter in pick No. 232. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
They will replay Jaylen Reed at pick 239 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
