The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Que Robinson at slot 158 is 35 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Landing Emmanwori that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at pick 22 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
No drama and no debate, Aireontae Ersery went about where he belonged in pick No. 38. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick45
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at the 45th pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick51
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jihaad Campbell in the Round 2 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
A slide stopped in the 69th overall pick, with Jayden Higgins worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A conviction pick on Charles Grant at Round 3, Pick 13 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Taking Quinshon Judkins in Round 3, Pick 22 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander slipping to pick 106 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick122
Rnd4
Zy Alexander
Nice patience on Zy Alexander, who had no business lasting to the 122nd pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick125
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at pick No. 125 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144
Rnd5
Andres Borregales
They liked Andres Borregales enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick158
Rnd5
Que Robinson
Que Robinson in the 158th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171
Rnd5
Drew Kendall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Drew Kendall. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220
Rnd7
Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II at slot 220 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jermari Harris
They took Jermari Harris at par in pick 238, which is nothing to complain about. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
