Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureA+
The Patriots did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Some picks age like wine; Drew Kendall at the 238th overall pick will need to, sitting 55 spots clear of his grade.

On value alone, Edwards makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In slot 17 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
The board had Jalon Walker higher than the 38th overall pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick45 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They read the board right and Emeka Egbuka was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 5 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They paid sticker price for Ozzy Trapilo in No. 77, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in pick No. 81 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 106th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the 144th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II in slot 217 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie at No. 220 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick232 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
They robbed the room for Donovan Edwards here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
A wild overpay on Drew Kendall in pick No. 238, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
