Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Patriots robbed the room for Ransom. Final grade: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Lathan Ransom, the No. 105 name on the board, stolen at the Round 6 slot.

If Dellinger pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in No. 38 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 49th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick69 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A conviction pick on Darien Porter at pick No. 69 that the board grades a round light. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick77 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles in the 105th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jaylin Noel
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylin Noel. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at slot 179 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in pick No. 180 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick217 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at slot 217 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Steal is underselling it; Jack Kiser at No. 220 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit at Round 7, Pick 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
