Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC NeedB- TradesC+ FutureA
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Nick Nash; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 111 spots ahead at the 142nd pick.

The Gordon II pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
They reached into another round for Jonah Savaiinaea, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Nice patience on Jalon Walker, who had no business lasting to No. 40. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick43 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deone Walker. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at slot 78 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Xavier Nwankpa
A real head-scratcher, Xavier Nwankpa in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick142 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in pick No. 142 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in the 219th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim slipping to pick 222 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at the 236th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
