Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
The Patriots let Sanders fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. T.J. Sanders, the No. 30 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 236th overall pick. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Dylan Parham gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Travis Hunter
Somehow Travis Hunter was still sitting there in pick No. 34, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick40 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Circle this one: Wyatt Milum at the 40th pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Steal is underselling it; Walter Nolen at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at pick 71 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick78 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Aireontae Ersery in slot 78, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick107 Rnd4 Tyler Booker
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 6 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ashton Jeanty
Taking Ashton Jeanty in No. 142 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the 219th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach pick No. 222 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
They barely believed it either: T.J. Sanders still on the board at slot 236. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
