Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Cam Horsley at the 220th overall pick, a reach of 28 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Getting Nolen where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In slot 12 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 6 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the 44th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at the 69th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in pick 76 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in No. 77 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tory Horton
No drama and no debate, Tory Horton went about where he belonged in No. 106. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
They jumped the gun on Andres Borregales, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick149 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick No. 149 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They let Bhayshul Tuten come to them and pounced at the 171st overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cam Horsley. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
No edge and no loss on Cam Jackson in the 238th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
