Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Emmanwori: B-.

Somebody took the Patriots to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Emmanwori value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 12th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 38 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They went early on Ozzy Trapilo in Round 3, Pick 5, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A premium they did not need to pay, Cam Skattebo a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in pick 106 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mello Dotson in slot 149. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick171 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chase Lundt. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in No. 220 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Nothing to complain about; Jermari Harris went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
