The Patriots won the night they stopped Ersery from sliding. Grade: A. The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Aireontae Ersery fell into slot 99.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
In pick 12 they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
Ashton Jeanty
They will replay Ashton Jeanty at No. 43 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick50
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at slot 50 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 59 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at the 77th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick99
Rnd3
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at Round 3, Pick 35 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
