Rob DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots

Draft Grade — Patriots

FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Castro. Final grade: B+. Thirty-one other rooms let Sebastian Castro slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at pick No. 194. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will need Ersery to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 7th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value.
Pick26
Rnd1
Emery Jones
No edge and no loss on Emery Jones in the 26th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick34
Rnd2
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick39
Rnd2
Abdul Carter
A slide stopped in pick 39, with Abdul Carter worth more than the price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58
Rnd2
Evan Stewart
They barely believed it either: Evan Stewart still on the board at slot 58. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Oscar Delp
They reached into another round for Oscar Delp, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71
Rnd3
Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at No. 71 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98
Rnd4
Aireontae Ersery
Value said wait; Aireontae Ersery in pick No. 98 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134
Rnd5
Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler in pick No. 134 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194
Rnd7
Sebastian Castro
A safety of that caliber at the 194th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219
Rnd7
Jaheim Oatis
They liked Jaheim Oatis enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 27. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
