Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B-.

The Willie Lampkin pick is the one that will follow the Patriots into the fall. They took him 28 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That Neal pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in pick 38, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Darien Porter
By-the-book stuff, Darien Porter at Round 3, Pick 5 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 77th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in slot 106 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Willie Lampkin well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Howard Cross III
A reasonable price with a little left over, Howard Cross III in pick No. 220. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They paid a round early for Jackson Hawes in No. 238, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
