Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Patriots fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Davante Adams deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 7 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jabbar Muhammad
Fair-plus on Jabbar Muhammad, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in the 40th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66 Rnd3 Parker Brailsford
They took Parker Brailsford at par in pick 66, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick96 Rnd3 Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough at Round 3, Pick 32 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick130 Rnd5 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit at No. 130 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick194 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 7 slot with a little surplus value in Noah Thomas. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
