Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the C-.

The tape said wait; the Patriots did not. Donovan Smith went at pick No. 238, a good 36 picks before the board was ready. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C-.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

If Ashton Jeanty and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jihaad Campbell in the 38th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Fair-plus on Donovan Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick77 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
No edge and no loss on Andrew Mukuba in Round 3, Pick 13; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Jared Wilson at slot 99 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at pick No. 105 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
No drama and no debate, Anthony Belton went about where he belonged in the 106th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They robbed the room for Cobee Bryant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick154 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
A slide stopped in pick No. 154, with Emery Jones Jr. worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nick Nash at No. 171. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
They let Tahj Brooks come to them and pounced at pick 219. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
They read the board right and Thomas Fidone II was the payoff at slot 220. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
