Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took CJ Daniels at pick 130 regardless, 47 picks early. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 24th overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at pick 34 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at slot 98 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
A big swing on CJ Daniels at Round 5, Pick 2, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
