Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Patriots started one anyway for Gino Garcia, 54 picks ahead of schedule.

The Marks steal is the beam this whole class leans on. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 4 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick24 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In slot 24 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
They paid sticker price for Elijah Arroyo in pick No. 69, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Charles Grant at the Round 4 slot is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Cobee Bryant in Round 5, Pick 6, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick217 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks at the 217th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
A reach on Cam Horsley in Round 7, Pick 4; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia at pick 238 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
