Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureA+
Few false notes in the Patriots' weekend. Grade: A-.

There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Patriots never got to the one that mattered most. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Edwards. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Nick Emmanwori and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerfielder for the defense, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
The board had cheaper options than Kaleb Johnson at slot 38, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Good price on Jaylin Noel in pick 69, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A reasonable price with a little left over, Carson Schwesinger in the 76th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They paid up for Jordan Burch at Round 3, Pick 13 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at the 97th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick106 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
A reach for Joshua Farmer in No. 106; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
No drama and no debate, Mitchell Evans went about where he belonged in pick No. 144. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick169 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
They took Seth McLaughlin at par in slot 169, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at Round 5, Pick 36 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Karene Reid
A straight-up fair deal on Karene Reid at pick 206, value and slot in agreement. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick217 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
A quiet steal in No. 217: Caleb Ransaw for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at the 220th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
They read the board right and Akili Arnold was the payoff at the 238th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
