Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Patriots: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Patriots spent slot 77 on Oluwafemi Oladejo, a name most had 67 spots down the list.

That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 9 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at slot 38 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick40 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 5 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at No. 77 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
They jumped the gun on Zy Alexander, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick106 Rnd4 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at pick No. 106 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in Round 5, Pick 6 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
A reach for Jonah Monheim in the 168th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 CJ West
Circle this one: CJ West at No. 220 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
