Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Cameron. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Josh Cameron had no business being available in pick No. 210, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 31st overall pick they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Drew Shelton
Good price on Drew Shelton in slot 95, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaeden Roberts in pick No. 125. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at No. 131 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor in Round 5, Pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Lander Barton
No edge and no loss on Lander Barton in pick 189; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick200 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at the 200th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jadon Canady
A straight-up fair deal on Jadon Canady at slot 207, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick210 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
The board fumbled Josh Cameron all the way to Round 6, Pick 31, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
A reasonable price with a little left over, Luke Altmyer in the Round 7 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
