Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Patriots to a D-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Patriots spent pick No. 232 on Kain Medrano, a name the board had a full 96 spots lower. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Patriots indulged a want in Williams while a need in interior defensive lineman stayed open. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

However the rest shakes out, Emmanwori at that price is a win they earned.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Will Campbell
Good price on Will Campbell in pick No. 15, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at pick 38 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They let Jalon Walker come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick41 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at Round 2, Pick 9 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick45 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at the 45th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyle Kennard. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in pick No. 72 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
By-the-book stuff, Mason Taylor at slot 77 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 9 on Nohl Williams with interior defensive lineman unsolved.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod in the 114th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
They reached a country mile for RJ Harvey at pick 144, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd7 Brady Cook
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brady Cook this early at No. 217. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd7 Nick Martin
They talked themselves into Nick Martin at the 220th overall pick, and the board did not agree. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick232 Rnd7 Kain Medrano
Value said wait; Kain Medrano in slot 232 says they were not listening. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A real head-scratcher, Jackson Hawes in Round 7, Pick 22 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jaylin Lane
The board fumbled Jaylin Lane all the way to pick No. 242, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
