Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: A.

The tape said wait; the Patriots did not. Jalen Rivers went at the Round 7 slot, a good 103 picks before the board was ready. Very little went wrong, and the A is earned.

Getting Giddens where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Will Campbell
Taking Will Campbell in pick 37 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 6 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
The board fumbled Shavon Revel Jr. all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at No. 69. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 77th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 88 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Emery Jones Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Fair-plus on Carson Schwesinger, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick212 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in the 212th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 41, where Seth McLaughlin graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jalen Rivers
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Rivers this early at pick 217. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
They will replay DJ Giddens at slot 220 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
A big swing on RJ Harvey at No. 241, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
