Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Patriots lost the trade table, and the B- tells the story.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Patriots shredded theirs for Aydan White. He came off 51 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

That Sampson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Campbell pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with safety, quarterback and other spots still on the board.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In slot 14 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A curious use of Round 2, Pick 20. Safety, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Jihaad Campbell did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Taking Dylan Sampson in pick 77 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jack Bech
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 120 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
They liked DeMonte Capehart enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 143. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at pick 217 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Aydan White
Aydan White in Round 7, Pick 4 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick238 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
