Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B- to prove it.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Reid Carrico at pick 235 is 158 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 3rd overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value.
Pick39 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at slot 39 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
They jumped the gun on Kyle Kennard, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 84, where Quinshon Judkins graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
A wild overpay on Ozzy Trapilo in the 106th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141 Rnd5 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
A quiet steal in slot 221: DJ Campbell for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jay Toia
They talked themselves into Jay Toia at the 223rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick235 Rnd7 Reid Carrico
Reid Carrico at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
