Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureA
The Patriots kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The tape said wait; the Patriots did not. Jimmy Horn Jr. went at slot 232, a good 98 picks before the board was ready.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Warren. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A quiet steal in the 38th pick: Jalon Walker for less than the market said. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in Round 2, Pick 13 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at pick 69 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They paid up for Charles Grant at No. 77 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They went early on Emery Jones Jr. in the 106th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue at pick 144 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
A reach on Desmond Watson in pick No. 217; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Value said wait; Hayden Conner in No. 220 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Jimmy Horn Jr. in the 232nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in slot 238 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
