Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Emmanwori should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a A-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Nick Emmanwori had no business being available in pick 51, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

The Riley Moss deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In the end it comes back to James Pearce Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 20th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 38th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick45 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
They let Josh Conerly Jr. come to them and pounced at No. 45. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick51 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in Round 2, Pick 19 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris slid further than he should have, and pick 69 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at slot 77 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A quiet steal in pick No. 106: Savion Williams for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick122 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They read the board right and Joshua Farmer was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in slot 144 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 197th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick208 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at pick 208 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at Round 7, Pick 1 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A tidy bit of business in the 220th pick, where Luke Lachey graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac TeSlaa. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238 Rnd7 Shemar James
They paid sticker price for Shemar James in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
