Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The Patriots went off the board in a big way for CJ Daniels, 45 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Nesbit.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Tacario Davis
Good price on Tacario Davis in the 26th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick34 Rnd2 Emery Jones
Emery Jones in slot 34 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Clay Webb
No drama and no debate, Clay Webb went about where he belonged in pick 66. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72 Rnd3 Bryson Nesbit
They read the board right and Bryson Nesbit was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
A real head-scratcher, CJ Daniels in pick No. 98 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd5 Collin Oliver
The board had Collin Oliver higher than Round 5, Pick 2, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick135 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A slide stopped in slot 135, with Davison Igbinosun worth more than the price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick161 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
They liked T.J. Sanders enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 161. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd7 Mason Taylor
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 194 with a little surplus value in Mason Taylor. The roster fit checks out.
