Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Jackson: C+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Ja'Quinden Jackson, the No. 157 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 237.

If Frazier pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

So much rides on Will Campbell that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 5 they get a cornerstone up front, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick 36 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick38 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zy Alexander this early at No. 38. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick69 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 69th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Fair-plus on Jayden Higgins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Circle this one: Malachi Moore at slot 105 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Miles Frazier. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
They robbed the room for Jack Kiser here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick222 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at Round 7, Pick 8 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick237 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
They barely believed it either: Ja'Quinden Jackson still on the board at the Round 7 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
