Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Ott. Final grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jaydn Ott, No. 256, roughly 53 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Morrison has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 3rd pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They let JT Tuimoloau come to them and pounced at pick 41. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick86 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
A tidy little value on Nick Emmanwori in the 86th overall pick, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108 Rnd4 Benjamin Morrison
They left a pile of value on the table to take Benjamin Morrison this early at Round 4, Pick 7. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick144 Rnd5 J.Michael Sturdivant
J.Michael Sturdivant at pick No. 144 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Somehow Dont'e Thornton Jr. was still sitting there in slot 218, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd7 Azareye'h Thomas
You do not let a cornerback like Azareye'h Thomas reach No. 220 and blink. They did not. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in No. 236 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jaydn Ott
They will replay Jaydn Ott at pick No. 256 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
