Overall

FutureB
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: B+. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Patriots were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
If Kendall pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Getting Emmanwori where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Matthew Golden at the 20th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at No. 38 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick51
Rnd2
Trey Amos
Trey Amos in pick No. 51 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick55
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
Fair-plus on Marcus Mbow, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 3, Pick 5 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
The board had Jaylin Noel higher than slot 77, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in pick 85 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125
Rnd4
Oluwafemi Oladejo
A real head-scratcher, Oluwafemi Oladejo in Round 4, Pick 23 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144
Rnd5
Andres Borregales
They liked Andres Borregales enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick158
Rnd5
Jah Joyner
No edge and no loss on Jah Joyner in pick 158; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Drew Kendall
A big swing on Drew Kendall at the 171st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
Nothing to complain about; Jack Kiser went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick197
Rnd6
Jack Nelson
A tidy bit of business in the 197th overall pick, where Jack Nelson graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick214
Rnd6
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
They robbed the room for Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220
Rnd7
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins slipping to No. 220 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick238
Rnd7
CJ Dippre
A reach for CJ Dippre in pick No. 238; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
