Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Patriots lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

The Patriots bet big and early on J.J. Weaver, 53 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The Dart value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 6th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson at Round 2, Pick 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in pick No. 38. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in slot 66 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in No. 85 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick98 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jaxson Dart
A quarterback of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 6 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in the 130th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver in No. 194 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
