Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
Allar should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Drew Allar, Round 4, Pick 37, roughly 74 picks past where he belonged. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Every board in the league had Monheim lower, and that gap is the story.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Martin Emerson Jr. leading the way.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Will Campbell
They paid sticker price for Will Campbell in slot 11, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick41 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at Round 2, Pick 9 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at the 72nd overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Nwankpa
A slide stopped in pick No. 76, with Xavier Nwankpa worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85 Rnd3 Patrick Payton
They went early on Patrick Payton in the 85th pick, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Maxwell Hairston well ahead of where he belonged. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick110 Rnd4 Raheim Sanders
They jumped the gun on Raheim Sanders, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in pick 112 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Theo Wease Jr.
A conviction pick on Theo Wease Jr. at Round 4, Pick 15 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 134th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Somehow Drew Allar was still sitting there in the 138th pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick188 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
They took Luke Lachey at par in No. 188, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis slipping to pick 216 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick218 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
The board had De'Corian Clark higher than pick No. 218, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223 Rnd7 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in slot 223 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Anthony Belton
A premium they did not need to pay, Anthony Belton a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at pick 242 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
