Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
A-
ValueC
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. The Patriots treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 4, Pick 23 on Nick Nash a full 116 spots early. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.
They banked enough surplus on Lawson to cover a lot of smaller sins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Josh Conerly Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick36
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
A tidy little value on Derrick Harmon in the 36th pick, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at slot 44 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick47
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at the 47th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick55
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick67
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
Taking Tyler Warren in pick 67 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79
Rnd3
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
They reached into another round for Jordan Burch, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in slot 103 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124
Rnd4
Nick Nash
Nick Nash at Round 4, Pick 23 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick138
Rnd5
Nohl Williams
A big swing on Nohl Williams at No. 138, well ahead of any board in the building. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick151
Rnd5
Deontae Lawson
Circle this one: Deontae Lawson at pick 151 is a fall that decides a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick219
Rnd7
Elijah Arroyo
They barely believed it either: Elijah Arroyo still on the board at the 219th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220
Rnd7
Jalen Rivers
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Rivers this early at pick No. 220. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238
Rnd7
Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 238 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
