Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureA-
The Patriots let Campbell fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Amare Campbell at Round 4, Pick 16 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Zvada pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nyck Harbor at the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick83 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at pick 83 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick100 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds is a better player than slot 100 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick112 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
A conviction pick on Bray Hubbard at pick No. 112 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Amare Campbell
Amare Campbell at No. 118 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick163 Rnd5 Desmond Reid
They read the board right and Desmond Reid was the payoff at the 163rd pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick218 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
A reach on Dominic Zvada in the 218th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick225 Rnd7 PJ Williams
The board had cheaper options than PJ Williams at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
