Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureB+
Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Patriots steal Bassa and grade out a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jeffrey Bassa, the No. 118 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 238. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Reaching for Trapilo left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mike Green
Mike Green in slot 28 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick34 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 2 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick38 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Hampton at the 38th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deone Walker. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
No edge and no loss on Barrett Carter in pick 77; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jack Nelson
They paid a round early for Jack Nelson in the 104th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick No. 143 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A conviction pick on Seth McLaughlin at the 194th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit in Round 7, Pick 1 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Nick Nash
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nick Nash in pick No. 220, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
The board fumbled Jeffrey Bassa all the way to No. 238, and they scooped it up. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
