Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureB
The Patriots robbed the room for Edwards. Final grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Donovan Edwards, the No. 209 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 243. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They are betting Robinson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 27 they get a red-zone target to build around at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
By-the-book stuff, Aireontae Ersery at slot 38 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 44th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at No. 59 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A straight-up fair deal on Quinshon Judkins at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick77 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 13 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 106th pick on Smael Mondon Jr. with quarterback unsolved.
Pick144 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ty Robinson in pick No. 144, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins this early at slot 171. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Nice patience on Caleb Ransaw, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They paid sticker price for Isaac TeSlaa in No. 238, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
The board fumbled Donovan Edwards all the way to Round 7, Pick 27, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
No drama and no debate, Cam Horsley went about where he belonged in the 247th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
