Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Nick Emmanwori had no business being available in the Round 2 slot, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Horsley reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 12 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 38th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 44 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Jaylin Noel graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 76th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
No edge and no loss on Ozzy Trapilo in pick 77; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in Round 4, Pick 18 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
They robbed the room for Jacob Parrish here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick144 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
They took Aeneas Peebles at par in No. 144, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
A reach for Andres Borregales in the 149th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick171 Rnd5 Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall at slot 171 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley in No. 220 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
They reached a country mile for Tonka Hemingway at Round 7, Pick 22, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
