Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots let Jackson fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Donovan Jackson got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at pick 146. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

In the end it comes back to Will Johnson, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Nice patience on Emeka Egbuka, who had no business lasting to slot 38. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the 69th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick146 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
They barely believed it either: Donovan Jackson still on the board at No. 146. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Cobee Bryant
The board fumbled Cobee Bryant all the way to pick No. 222, and they scooped it up. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick234 Rnd7 John Williams
They went early on John Williams in the 234th pick, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in Round 7, Pick 22 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
