Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Patriots came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Warren reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

On value alone, Ersery makes the weekend a net positive. The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Joe Alt leading the way.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Nwankpa
They paid sticker price for Xavier Nwankpa in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Warren this early at slot 98. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd5 Aireontae Ersery
Nice patience on Aireontae Ersery, who had no business lasting to No. 130. The roster fit checks out.
