Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots let Zvada fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somebody in the 238th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while Dominic Zvada, the No. 95 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Every board in the league had Lampkin lower, and that gap is the story.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
They paid sticker price for Matthew Golden in No. 37, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick38 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen Royals at pick No. 69, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the 77th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick104 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at the 104th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They reached into another round for Willie Lampkin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick178 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
The board fumbled Oronde Gadsden II all the way to slot 178, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Taking Jay Higgins in pick 217 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Somehow Dominic Zvada was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 22, and they pounced on premier specialist value. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
