Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Campbell fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Jihaad Campbell slides to Round 3, Pick 13, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. If Zabel pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
This one needs a full-page explanation: Grey Zabel in pick 38, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
You do not let a tight end like Harold Fannin Jr. reach No. 69 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at slot 77 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick105 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 105 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143 Rnd5 Patrick Bryant
No edge and no loss on Patrick Bryant in the 143rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
