Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA- NeedC+ TradesB FutureB
The Patriots let Watts fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Xavier Watts slide 94 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. With edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

The back end got a real overhaul.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick No. 4 they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Will Johnson
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots to take Will Johnson, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick68 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in slot 68, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Hampton at Round 3, Pick 19 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jalon Walker
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at pick 105. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick142 Rnd5 Xavier Watts
They robbed the room for Xavier Watts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in No. 147, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick220 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick223 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
Circle this one: Xavier Nwankpa at No. 223 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 David Walker
You do not let a linebacker like David Walker reach slot 241 and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
