Grand theft in Round 3, Pick 13: the Patriots steal Emmanwori and grade out a B-.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Nick Emmanwori, the No. 20 name on the board, sitting there at the 77th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
They took Josh Conerly Jr. at par in Round 2, Pick 6, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
Taking Aireontae Ersery in the 69th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick77 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at pick 77 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
