Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Thor Griffith, 57 picks early at the Round 7 slot.

The Edwards steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jalon Walker and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A tidy bit of business in the 33rd pick, where Jalon Walker graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at No. 38 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
Steal is underselling it; Aireontae Ersery at Round 3, Pick 3 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 69th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
No drama and no debate, Mason Taylor went about where he belonged in slot 77. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A reasonable price with a little left over, Andrew Mukuba in the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
A quiet steal in No. 105: Jaylin Noel for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Taking Billy Bowman Jr. in Round 5, Pick 6 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Circle this one: Donovan Edwards at pick 219 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mac McWilliams. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick240 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
