Rob DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots

Draft Grade — Patriots

FutureB-
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. The rest of the league had time to spare on CJ Daniels; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 45 spots ahead at pick 130. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In No. 7 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
Emery Jones
In pick No. 24 they get a building block for the line, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Booker at slot 34 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick39
Rnd2
Xavier Nwankpa
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Nwankpa at the 39th pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66
Rnd3
Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88
Rnd3
Oscar Delp
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oscar Delp in the 88th overall pick, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98
Rnd4
Tyler Warren
They went early on Tyler Warren in No. 98, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130
Rnd5
CJ Daniels
They talked themselves into CJ Daniels at the 130th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135
Rnd5
Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194
Rnd7
Oronde Gadsden II
A real head-scratcher, Oronde Gadsden II in pick 194 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
