Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B-.

The DJ Campbell pick is the one that will follow the Patriots into the fall. They took him 61 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Biles pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Joshua Josephs
In pick No. 19 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in slot 55 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Sam Leavitt
Sam Leavitt at the 86th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
They talked themselves into DJ Campbell at Round 4, Pick 13, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
They reached into another round for Iapani Laloulu, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at pick 159 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
A running back of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite at pick No. 202 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick224 Rnd7 Rasheem Biles
Somehow Rasheem Biles was still sitting there in No. 224, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick241 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Akheem Mesidor in Round 7, Pick 23, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
