Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesD FutureA+
Larceny in pick No. 235 lands the Patriots a B, Bassa and all.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Jeffrey Bassa, the No. 123 name on the board, sitting there at No. 235 like a gift left on the doorstep. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Williams reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 7 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in the 38th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Kenneth Grant for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in No. 80 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in slot 106 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at pick 141. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
You do not let a linebacker like Jay Higgins reach Round 5, Pick 16 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick221 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Elijah Arroyo in the 221st pick, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223 Rnd7 PJ Williams
PJ Williams at pick No. 223 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at the 235th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick236 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
Circle this one: DJ Giddens at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
