Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots won the night they stopped Wheatley from sliding. Grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Zakee Wheatley, No. 212, roughly 121 picks past where he belonged.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
In slot 31 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
The board fumbled Kenyon Sadiq all the way to the 63rd pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95 Rnd3 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 Brandon Cisse
A cornerback of that caliber at the 125th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick131 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They will replay Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at Round 4, Pick 31 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jake Golday
Jake Golday in No. 171 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Kage Casey
They barely believed it either: Kage Casey still on the board at pick No. 191. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at pick 198 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Charles Demmings
They robbed the room for Charles Demmings here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick212 Rnd6 Zakee Wheatley
Circle this one: Zakee Wheatley at the 212th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
Fa'alili Fa'amoe in pick No. 247 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
