Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

The Patriots clearly saw something nobody else did in Tre Harris, taking him 22 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Landing Sawyer that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
Will Campbell in the 4th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in No. 38 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jack Sawyer
A tidy bit of business in slot 69, where Jack Sawyer graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Darien Porter
No drama and no debate, Darien Porter went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
