Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B-.

Nobody had Gino Garcia this high, and it is not close. The Patriots reached 60 spots to get him at pick No. 238. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Judkins. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 4 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
The board had Jalon Walker higher than pick 38, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
They let Tre Harris come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 81 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A reach for Denzel Burke in slot 106; a little patience would have been rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick119 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kaimon Rucker well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at slot 144 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They went early on Cam Jackson in the Round 7 slot, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
A real head-scratcher, CJ Dippre in pick No. 220 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
A big swing on Gino Garcia at No. 238, well ahead of any board in the building. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
