Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: B+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Patriots took David Walker at the 235th overall pick, roughly 43 spots before his name belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Bond steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 6th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 36th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick37 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jonah Savaiinaea
The board had Jonah Savaiinaea higher than pick 69, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick93 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
They paid sticker price for Nick Emmanwori in slot 93, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 4, Pick 2 is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
A clean, defensible pick in the 106th overall pick with a little surplus value in Tacario Davis. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick139 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
Quietly one of the better values of the day, DeMonte Capehart at No. 139. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181 Rnd6 Bryson Nesbit
They took Bryson Nesbit at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204 Rnd6 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at pick No. 204 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jeffrey Bassa in Round 6, Pick 30. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick217 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyren Lacy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd7 Makari Paige
Value with a capital V on Makari Paige in slot 220, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick235 Rnd7 David Walker
They talked themselves into David Walker at pick 235, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
