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

The Patriots spent real capital to be 43 picks early on JJ Pegues, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Emmanwori.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

In the end it comes back to Matthew Golden, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 17 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker slipping to pick No. 38 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in the 49th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They reached into another round for Charles Grant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in pick 77 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick81 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in Round 3, Pick 17 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They reached a country mile for Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick No. 106, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at No. 144 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Drew Kendall
A wild overpay on Drew Kendall in the 171st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Ricky White III
No drama and no debate, Ricky White III went about where he belonged in slot 220. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
A reach for Cam Horsley in pick 238; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
