Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Marks: A-.

When a board-topper like Woody Marks slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Skattebo has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at the 25th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at slot 38 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
They let Harold Fannin Jr. come to them and pounced at pick No. 69. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A real head-scratcher, Cam Skattebo in No. 77 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 4, with Denzel Burke worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick145 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
The board fumbled Hollin Pierce all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at the 195th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick240 Rnd7 Woody Marks
They barely believed it either: Woody Marks still on the board at pick 240. A need, and now a little less of one.
