Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Bryant: B+.

The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cobee Bryant fell into the Round 7 slot. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick 8 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in the 38th 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 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in No. 69 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at Round 3, Pick 10 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 105th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A tidy little value on Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick219 Rnd7 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in pick No. 219 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick240 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 240 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
