Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
Ersery should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Aireontae Ersery, pick No. 76, roughly 28 picks past where he belonged.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Trapilo pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 12th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
A straight-up fair deal on Wyatt Milum at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick44 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
No drama and no debate, Xavier Watts went about where he belonged in slot 44. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zy Alexander. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick69 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A slide stopped in pick No. 69, with TreVeyon Henderson worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at the 76th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in Round 3, Pick 13 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They paid sticker price for Smael Mondon Jr. in No. 105, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
