Draft Grade — Patriots

FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Walker. Final grade: B+. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Patriots were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Walker. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the 7th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at the 38th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick53
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at pick 53. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
They read the board right and Jaylin Noel was the payoff at pick No. 69. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
