Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Edwards: C+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Donovan Edwards got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at slot 238. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kelvin Banks Jr. in the Round 1 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 6: Emeka Egbuka for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Booker at pick 39 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick49 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
No drama and no debate, JT Tuimoloau went about where he belonged in the 49th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor is a better player than pick No. 69 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson slid further than he should have, and slot 119 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Hollin Pierce in No. 144. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Upton Stout in the 220th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Edwards at No. 238 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
