Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Patriots won the night they stopped Higgins from sliding. Grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jay Higgins, pick No. 223, roughly 98 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Igbinosun has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 3 they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson at pick 40 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in Round 3, Pick 6 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A tidy little value on Jayden Higgins in slot 83, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 106 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at the 122nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board fumbled Kevin Winston Jr. all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the 146th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick221 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in No. 221 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 223 is the definition of value, full stop. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They reached a country mile for Garrett Dellinger at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
