Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA+
Grand theft in the 77th pick: the Patriots steal Johnson and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kaleb Johnson, pick No. 77, roughly 36 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. They will need Campbell to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 8 they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick18 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter slipping to the 18th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
They barely believed it either: Jihaad Campbell still on the board at No. 71. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Somehow Kaleb Johnson was still sitting there in the 77th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A safety of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A clean, defensible pick in pick 143 with a little surplus value in Oronde Gadsden II. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at Round 7, Pick 5 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at slot 222 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the 236th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
