Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots won the night they stopped Higgins from sliding. Grade: A.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jay Higgins, the No. 134 name on the board, in Round 7, Pick 1. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The veteran additions, Henry To'oTo'o chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 15th pick they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in the 45th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
You do not let a wide receiver like Tre Harris reach Round 3, Pick 5 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in pick 77 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick145 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in No. 145, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 219 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick222 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Circle this one: Upton Stout at slot 222 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick No. 240 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
