Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Milum should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Wyatt Milum slide 175 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Hancock pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots still on the board. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In slot 3 they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at pick 41 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72 Rnd3 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. at the 72nd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick85 Rnd3 Tre Harris
They will replay Tre Harris at the 85th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jordan Hancock
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Jordan Hancock while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots sat open.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jordan Burch
You do not let an edge rusher like Jordan Burch reach Round 5, Pick 6 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick216 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
They robbed the room for Wyatt Milum here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in pick No. 218 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick228 Rnd7 Ashton Gillotte
The board fumbled Ashton Gillotte all the way to the 228th overall pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
