Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The phones sank the Patriots this weekend: D+.

The Patriots clearly saw something nobody else did in Nick Nash, taking him 109 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Put together, it is a D+.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Neal value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Aireontae Ersery well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Steal is underselling it; Jihaad Campbell at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick94 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
No edge and no loss on Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 94; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A reach for Tez Johnson in slot 106; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in the 132nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick146 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in the 146th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick213 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the 213th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick221 Rnd7 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at the 221st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at slot 223 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Nick Martin
Nick Martin in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
