Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Watts. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Xavier Watts sat on the board until slot 90, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In No. 4 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jihaad Campbell at slot 51. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick69 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in pick 69 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Watts at the 90th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Somehow Ozzy Trapilo was still sitting there in pick No. 101, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tory Horton
No edge and no loss on Tory Horton in the 106th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
A tidy little value on Hollin Pierce in Round 5, Pick 6, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Value with a capital V on Luke Lachey in slot 217, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They liked Cam Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 220th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A clean, defensible pick in No. 238 with a little surplus value in Isaac TeSlaa. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
