Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Cooper Mays at slot 235 is 70 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 38th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at pick 76 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
They let Carson Schwesinger come to them and pounced at the 77th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick121 Rnd4 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in pick No. 121 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 144 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick174 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
A slide stopped in the 174th overall pick, with RJ Harvey worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Cam Jackson at pick 220, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235 Rnd7 Cooper Mays
Cooper Mays in No. 235 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They jumped the gun on Teddye Buchanan, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
