Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Patriots went off the board in a big way for Nick Nash, 135 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Taaffe at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They did well to land Derrick Harmon in No. 38, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They paid sticker price for Tyler Warren in Round 2, Pick 13, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick52 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They talked themselves into Donovan Ezeiruaku at the 52nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick64 Rnd2 Emery Jones Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 2 slot, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in slot 66, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick69 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at pick 69 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Steal is underselling it; Jihaad Campbell at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
The board had cheaper options than Tez Johnson at Round 3, Pick 19, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in the 105th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Ja'Corey Brooks
They reached a country mile for Ja'Corey Brooks at pick 121, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at the 140th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick164 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at slot 164 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd7 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at No. 219 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick No. 222 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
Value said wait; RJ Harvey in pick 237 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
