Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Patriots took Jonathan Mendoza at the 238th pick, roughly 108 spots before his name belonged.

The Knight Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. With edge rusher and quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in Round 1, Pick 17 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
They jumped the gun on Xavier Restrepo, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kenneth Grant in pick 43, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick49 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
They paid a round early for Grey Zabel in the 49th pick, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Taking Jihaad Campbell in slot 69 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick82 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Somehow TreVeyon Henderson was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 99 on Chris Paul Jr. with edge rusher and quarterback unsolved.
Pick104 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Value said wait; Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at the 111th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick117 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A curious use of the 117th pick. Edge rusher and quarterback needed the pick; a linebacker in Demetrius Knight Jr. did not.
Pick136 Rnd4 CJ West
CJ West at pick 136 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191 Rnd6 Elijah Arroyo
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 16 with a little surplus value in Elijah Arroyo. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker in slot 217 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd7 Julian Fleming
A big swing on Julian Fleming at pick No. 220, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jonathan Mendoza
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jonathan Mendoza in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
