Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Patriots would have aced it. Stone Handy at the Round 7 slot is 78 spots clear of where he belonged. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A to show for it.

On value alone, Moore makes the weekend a net positive. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Braden Smith pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In the end it comes back to Will Campbell, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early.
Pick41 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in pick 41 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick49 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Somehow Harold Fannin Jr. was still sitting there in No. 72, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 86th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
They barely believed it either: Domani Jackson still on the board at slot 108. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick144 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
A conviction pick on Willie Lampkin at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick218 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in the 218th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Stone Handy
Value said wait; Stone Handy in the 220th pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in pick No. 236, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick256 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
They robbed the room for Donovan Edwards here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
