Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Patriots took Nohl Williams at the Round 3 slot, roughly 40 spots before his name belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Egbuka. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 4th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at Round 3, Pick 5 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Nohl Williams
A wild overpay on Nohl Williams in slot 77, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
