Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Patriots reached some 109 spots for Emery Jones Jr., and value like that does not grow back. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Schwesinger pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with safety and quarterback still on the board. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in slot 38, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
No drama and no debate, Tyler Warren went about where he belonged in pick No. 45. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Jihaad Campbell graded well above the range. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick63 Rnd2 Deone Walker
No edge and no loss on Deone Walker in pick 63; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at No. 66 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at Round 3, Pick 5 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 David Bailey
This one needs a full-page explanation: David Bailey in No. 77, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
A want over a need in pick 105: Carson Schwesinger adds a linebacker while safety and quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick123 Rnd4 Patrick Bryant
They reached into another round for Patrick Bryant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They talked themselves into Nick Nash at Round 5, Pick 6, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Davison Igbinosun. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick217 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
They reached a country mile for Nohl Williams at the 217th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jalen Rivers
A wild overpay on Jalen Rivers in slot 220, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in the 241st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
