Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA+ FutureC+
The Patriots robbed the room for Sampson. Final grade: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dylan Sampson slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at No. 105. Highway robbery.

The cost of the Nelson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The A.J. Brown pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jack Nelson
They reached into another round for Jack Nelson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at the 105th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd7 Davison Igbinosun
No edge and no loss on Davison Igbinosun in the 217th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick220 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
They let DJ Campbell come to them and pounced at pick 220. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
They barely believed it either: Jack Kiser still on the board at No. 241. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
