Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureC
Grand theft in No. 217: the Patriots steal Gadsden II and grade out a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Oronde Gadsden II, pick 217, roughly 24 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will need Higgins to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Shemar Stewart
Taking Shemar Stewart in the 38th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They read the board right and Xavier Watts was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 25. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in pick 59 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
No edge and no loss on Tate Ratledge in slot 69; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 114 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A tidy bit of business in No. 144, where Jake Majors graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Circle this one: Oronde Gadsden II at the 217th pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Phil Mafah. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone in the 238th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
