Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the B-.

The war room fell hard for JJ Pegues, and it showed at No. 144: 41 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They banked enough surplus on Emmanwori to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 12 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in slot 38, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They read the board right and Jayden Higgins was the payoff at the 69th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at pick No. 77 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick106 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A big swing on Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick 106, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A wild overpay on JJ Pegues in the 144th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at Round 5, Pick 33 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
They talked themselves into Donovan Smith at pick 238, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
