Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Grand theft in slot 145: the Patriots steal Neal and grade out a A.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Devin Neal, the No. 81 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 5 slot like a gift left on the doorstep.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Josh Downs pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at the 38th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick45 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at pick 45 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 69th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at pick No. 105 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Charles Grant
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Steal is underselling it; Devin Neal at No. 145 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at pick 219 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
The board fumbled Jaylen Reed all the way to the 222nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Cam Jackson reach the 240th pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
