Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Max Iheanachor at the Round 1 slot, a reach of 48 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

Getting Campbell where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at pick 31 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick63 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Derrick Moore. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
They paid sticker price for Harold Perkins Jr. in No. 95, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at the 125th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol in pick No. 131 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Value said wait; Bud Clark in the 189th overall pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick200 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zxavian Harris this early at Round 6, Pick 21. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick207 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
Somehow DJ Campbell was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210 Rnd6 Eli Heidenreich
A wild overpay on Eli Heidenreich in No. 210, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
The board had cheaper options than Robert Spears-Jennings at the 247th pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
