Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Emmanwori: B.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Nick Emmanwori, the No. 19 name on the board, in Round 3, Pick 5. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Every board in the league had Horsley lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
They paid sticker price for Abdul Carter in the 4th overall pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A straight-up fair deal on Aireontae Ersery at No. 38, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at slot 69 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in pick 77 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tory Horton
By-the-book stuff, Tory Horton at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at Round 5, Pick 6 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
A clean, defensible pick in the 171st pick with a little surplus value in Ben Sauls. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in pick No. 220 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
They paid a round early for Cam Horsley in pick No. 238, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
