Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Patriots to a D.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Ty Hamilton; the Patriots did not wait, grabbing him 110 spots ahead at the Round 5 slot. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On value alone, Emmanwori makes the weekend a net positive.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Campbell
They paid sticker price for Will Campbell in Round 1, Pick 7, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in No. 38 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalon Walker at slot 39 is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick42 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Ty Hamilton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ty Hamilton. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah in pick 217 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd7 Malik Verdon
A big swing on Malik Verdon at the 220th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
They reached into another round for Drew Kendall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Nothing to complain about; Isaac TeSlaa went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
