Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
B+

NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a B+. The Patriots ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
Williams has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
However the rest shakes out, Fortune at that price is a win they earned.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In the 12th overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick38
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Value with a capital V on Emeka Egbuka in pick 38, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick44
Rnd2
Cameron Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cameron Williams. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick79
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
They took Mason Taylor at par in No. 79, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick No. 106 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
Quietly one of the better values of the day, O'Donnell Fortune at Round 5, Pick 28. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick220
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
A reach on Cam Jackson in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
