Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesA- FutureD+
The Patriots did enough to get by: C+.

The Patriots clearly saw something nobody else did in Davison Igbinosun, taking him 96 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Simon at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

With safety, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 3rd overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Tre Harris
A clean, defensible pick in slot 27 with a little surplus value in Tre Harris. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick39 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zy Alexander in the 39th pick, miles early. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They left a pile of value on the table to take Antwaun Powell-Ryland this early at No. 88. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
They robbed the room for Deontae Lawson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick124 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Davison Igbinosun adds a cornerback and leaves safety, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick141 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at pick 141 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the 199th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick221 Rnd7 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Value with a capital V on Ar'maj Reed-Adams in Round 7, Pick 7, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Ja'Quinden Jackson at pick No. 223 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
