Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC+
The Patriots let Campbell fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

Call it larceny. Jihaad Campbell sat on the board until slot 77, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Reaching for Wilson left real value on the table behind him.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel at No. 38 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the 69th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in the 77th overall pick, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Phillips at pick 144 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
No drama and no debate, Ollie Gordon II went about where he belonged in pick No. 171. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III in Round 7, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
The board had Alijah Huzzie higher than slot 238, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
