Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Warren: C+.

The phones were a trap the Patriots kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

The Warren steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The Cornelius reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Hit on Nick Emmanwori and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 21 they get an enforcer at safety. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at slot 41 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson is a better player than the 77th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in Round 3, Pick 19 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 106, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick123 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A reach for Hollin Pierce in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Nick Nash
No drama and no debate, Nick Nash went about where he belonged in the 144th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick156 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at pick 156 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick185 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They went early on Oronde Gadsden II in the 185th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Value with a capital V on Donovan Edwards in Round 7, Pick 1, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at No. 220 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
They read the board right and Phil Mafah was the payoff at slot 238. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
