Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Patriots for Rourke: A-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kurtis Rourke tumbling to the Patriots in No. 198 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

If Kendall pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Martin Emerson Jr. gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In pick 8 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Good price on Luther Burden III in No. 39, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bradyn Swinson in the Round 2 slot, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Colston Loveland at the 72nd overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They barely believed it either: Denzel Burke still on the board at slot 100. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick108 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Value with a capital V on Elic Ayomanor in pick No. 108, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the 144th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at Round 6, Pick 14 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
A quarterback of that caliber at slot 198 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
A quiet steal in No. 218: Donovan Edwards for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kaimon Rucker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kaimon Rucker. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in pick No. 236 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
They talked themselves into Drew Kendall at the 256th pick, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
