Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Patriots: C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Carson Schwesinger; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 32 spots ahead at Round 2, Pick 6. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They banked enough surplus on James to cover a lot of smaller sins.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Hit on Will Campbell and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the 38th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in slot 69 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They took Ozzy Trapilo at par in pick No. 77, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
They paid up for Jacob Parrish at pick 106 when waiting would have done the job. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jordan James
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan James in No. 129. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cam Horsley. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A reasonable price with a little left over, Isaac TeSlaa in the 238th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
