Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Watts: B.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Xavier Watts, the No. 41 name on the board, in pick No. 69. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They will need Horsley to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 4 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
The board had Emeka Egbuka higher than No. 38, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in pick 69, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in the 81st overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A straight-up fair deal on Tory Horton at the 106th pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Value with a capital V on Jared Wilson in Round 4, Pick 17, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
They took Emery Jones Jr. at par in slot 144, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Andres Borregales at the Round 5 slot is the proof. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
A big swing on Cam Horsley at No. 220, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at slot 238 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
