Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots won the night they stopped Shough from sliding. Grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tyler Shough slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at No. 240. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If Cypress II pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 4 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in the 69th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A clean, defensible pick in pick 77 with a little surplus value in Donovan Ezeiruaku. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at the 105th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jeffrey Bassa at slot 145 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick219 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
They will replay Donovan Edwards at Round 7, Pick 1 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
A real head-scratcher, Fentrell Cypress II in No. 222 is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tyler Shough
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Tyler Shough in the 240th pick, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
