Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Hampton: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Omarion Hampton, Round 4, Pick 7, roughly 93 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the 6th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value.
Pick41 Rnd2 DJ Campbell
By-the-book stuff, DJ Campbell at pick No. 41 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Circle this one: Jahdae Barron at pick 72 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in No. 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick108 Rnd4 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in Round 4, Pick 7 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
You do not let a linebacker like Deontae Lawson reach slot 126 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick144 Rnd5 Deone Walker
Somehow Deone Walker was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218 Rnd7 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in the 218th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
They robbed the room for Jared Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 Rod Moore
Rod Moore at Round 7, Pick 25 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
