Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureB
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B-.

The Patriots clearly saw something nobody else did in Torricelli Simpkins III, taking him 31 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In No. 12 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick17 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick69 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A tidy little value on Quinshon Judkins in pick No. 69, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
No drama and no debate, Chris Paul Jr. went about where he belonged in slot 77. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick106 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike at the 106th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
No edge and no loss on Emery Jones Jr. in Round 4, Pick 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They paid up for O'Donnell Fortune at slot 144 when waiting would have done the job. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at No. 217 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre at Round 7, Pick 4 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Torricelli Simpkins III well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
