Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Alexander fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Call it larceny. Zy Alexander sat on the board until slot 144, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice.

They will need Noel to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
No edge and no loss on Will Campbell in No. 4; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in Round 2, Pick 6 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 JT Tuimoloau
Circle this one: JT Tuimoloau at pick 69 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dylan Sampson in pick No. 77. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 106 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick144 Rnd5 Zy Alexander
Steal is underselling it; Zy Alexander at the 144th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
