Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Patriots.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Patriots took Gino Garcia a full 83 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The Ransom value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 4th pick they get a building block for the line at fair value.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at No. 38 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Nice patience on Tre Harris, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 5. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Quinshon Judkins at pick 77 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
They read the board right and Zy Alexander was the payoff at slot 106. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick144 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in slot 217 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
A real head-scratcher, Gino Garcia in pick 220 is miles ahead of his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
They reached a country mile for Drew Kendall at Round 7, Pick 22, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
