Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC- FutureA
Grand theft in pick 153: the Patriots steal Farmer and grade out a B-.

The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Joshua Farmer fell into Round 5, Pick 14. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The cost of the Milum reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the 14th overall pick they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They paid a round early for Tre Harris in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick45 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at Round 2, Pick 13 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They paid up for Darien Porter at pick No. 69 when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A clean, defensible pick in the 77th pick with a little surplus value in Jayden Higgins. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at slot 114 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Cody Simon
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cody Simon in pick 145. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick153 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Joshua Farmer reach No. 153 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
A quarterback of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 26 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
The board had Kyle Williams higher than the Round 7 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in slot 222 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jacob Parrish
Nice patience on Jacob Parrish, who had no business lasting to pick 240. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
