Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-

Grand theft in pick 222: the Patriots steal Fitzgerald and grade out a A-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ryan Fitzgerald at pick No. 222 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Ersery pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Aireontae Ersery
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Fair-plus on Alfred Collins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in No. 69 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick97 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
They will replay Harold Fannin Jr. at pick No. 97 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at slot 105 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Circle this one: Quinshon Judkins at the 145th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kobe King
Somehow Kobe King was still sitting there in the 219th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
They barely believed it either: Ryan Fitzgerald still on the board at the Round 7 slot. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
