Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Patriots won the night they stopped Emmanwori from sliding. Grade: B-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Patriots, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

Emmanwori at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The cost of the Buchanan reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tetairoa McMillan in the 21st overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
The board fumbled Marcus Mbow all the way to pick 69, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylin Noel at the 77th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick83 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at No. 83 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jordan James
A conviction pick on Jordan James at Round 4, Pick 4 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They read the board right and Anthony Belton was the payoff at slot 123. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They let Jake Majors come to them and pounced at pick No. 144. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam in the 217th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick220 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
The board had cheaper options than Teddye Buchanan at pick 238, and it noticed. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
