Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Patriots shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 7th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Booker at pick 34, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
By-the-book stuff, Ashton Jeanty at the 40th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at No. 66 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick71 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Rod Moore at pick No. 71 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jonah Monheim. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
Noah Thomas at slot 194 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
