Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureA+
The Patriots did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Patriots took Drew Kendall a full 55 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Emmanwori. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Adonai Mitchell leading the way.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 30 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in slot 38 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at the 56th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 5, where Demetrius Knight Jr. graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalen Royals at the Round 3 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Emery Jones Jr. at the 106th overall pick, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
No edge and no loss on Jordan Phillips in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
A reach for Pat Bryant in the 132nd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in pick 144 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick No. 171 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
They jumped the gun on Caleb Rogers, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at Round 7, Pick 4 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
A big swing on Drew Kendall at No. 238, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
