Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B+
ValueB+
NeedB+
TradesC
FutureA+
Grand theft in pick 234: the Patriots steal Bassa and grade out a B+. Call it larceny. Jeffrey Bassa sat on the board until slot 234, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
They will need Gregory to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will answer for taking linebacker early while quarterback went begging.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In the 14th pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Taking Jihaad Campbell in pick 63 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick69
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
They read the board right and Elic Ayomanor was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
They robbed the room for Harold Fannin Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80
Rnd3
Omarion Hampton
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Hampton at pick No. 80 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105
Rnd4
Demetrius Knight Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Demetrius Knight Jr. while clear needs at quarterback sat open.
Pick116
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in slot 116 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132
Rnd4
Sebastian Castro
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Sebastian Castro in No. 132, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick No. 162 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173
Rnd5
Kyren Lacy
Somehow Kyren Lacy was still sitting there in No. 173, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219
Rnd7
Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in Round 7, Pick 1 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick222
Rnd7
Eric Gregory
They reached a country mile for Eric Gregory at slot 222, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jeffrey Bassa
The board fumbled Jeffrey Bassa all the way to pick 234, and they scooped it up. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick240
Rnd7
DJ Campbell
By-the-book stuff, DJ Campbell at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
