Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Patriots spent the 38th overall pick on Donovan Jackson, a name most had 28 spots down the list. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Ransaw.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 4 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Jackson. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris slipping to the 69th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 77 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Devin Neal
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 4, where Devin Neal graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen at slot 144 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in the 171st pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at slot 220 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They paid sticker price for Isaac TeSlaa in pick No. 238, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
