Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Hampton: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Omarion Hampton slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at pick No. 69. Highway robbery.

They are betting Gadsden II proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 4th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Value said wait; Jack Sawyer in slot 38 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at pick No. 69 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Wyatt Milum at the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Restrepo. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick 148 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They left a pile of value on the table to take Oronde Gadsden II this early at No. 171. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Hancock at Round 7, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at pick 233 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ricky White III
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ricky White III in the Round 7 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
