Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Patriots to a D+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Donovan Smith, 36 picks early at pick No. 238. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. On value alone, Emmanwori makes the weekend a net positive.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 17 they get a seam-stretching tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick21 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
Good price on Mykel Williams in the 21st overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at slot 38 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Alfred Collins at the 69th pick is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They paid sticker price for Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 77, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at Round 4, Pick 4 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 RJ Harvey
They paid a round early for RJ Harvey in the 113th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick138 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
No edge and no loss on Emery Jones Jr. in pick 138; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at slot 144 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick171 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
By-the-book stuff, Seth McLaughlin at No. 171 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
You do not let a running back like Raheim Sanders reach the 198th pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Ahmed Hassanein
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ahmed Hassanein in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Donovan Smith well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
