Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesC+ FutureA+
The Patriots won the night they stopped Taylor from sliding. Grade: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Mason Taylor at the 179th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

If Nash pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher and quarterback went begging. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 12th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Nice patience on Jalon Walker, who had no business lasting to pick No. 38. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick69 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in slot 69 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Jihaad Campbell in the 89th overall pick leaves edge rusher and quarterback for later.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A tidy bit of business in pick 105, where Tez Johnson graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach No. 126 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in Round 5, Pick 6, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in Round 6, Pick 4 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
They liked Quincy Riley enough to skip the value, taking him in the 217th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick220 Rnd7 Nick Nash
A real head-scratcher, Nick Nash in pick 220 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick No. 241 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
