Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a A-.

The tape said wait; the Patriots did not. Nick Nash went at No. 103, a good 137 picks before the board was ready.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Lawson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Josh Conerly Jr. and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In the 31st pick they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early.
Pick34 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in pick 34 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at the 36th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They reached a country mile for Donovan Jackson at pick No. 67, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
They robbed the room for Jihaad Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick93 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 3, Pick 29 on Deontae Lawson with interior defensive lineman unsolved.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at pick 97 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Blake Miller
They left a pile of value on the table to take Blake Miller this early at the 105th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138 Rnd4 Seth McLaughlin
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Seth McLaughlin. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at pick No. 219 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in No. 220 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
A real head-scratcher, RJ Harvey in the 238th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
