Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesC FutureB
The Patriots robbed the room for Bassa. Final grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jeffrey Bassa at Round 7, Pick 4 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They are betting Campbell proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 4th overall pick they get a true top target, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Conerly Jr.. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in No. 69 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 4 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They reached into another round for DJ Campbell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Gunnar Helm in the 148th pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in slot 168 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick217 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A big swing on Shilo Sanders at Round 7, Pick 1, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick241 Rnd7 Micah Morris
This one needs a full-page explanation: Micah Morris in the 241st pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
