Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Patriots lost the trade table, and the C- tells the story.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Kevin Jennings in the 238th overall pick, a good 42 spots before the room expected him.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Higgins pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

If Will Campbell and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in No. 38 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins slipping to the 69th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the 77th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at pick 106 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at Round 4, Pick 11 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick 144 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at the 171st overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They liked Isaac TeSlaa enough to skip the value, taking him in the 220th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kevin Jennings this early at slot 238. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
