Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueA+ NeedB TradesA FutureA+
The Patriots robbed the room for Sanders. Final grade: A.

The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and T.J. Sanders fell into Round 7, Pick 1. This is how you run a draft, and the A reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Travis Hunter
They barely believed it either: Travis Hunter still on the board at slot 38. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick45 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at pick No. 45 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
You do not let a wide receiver like Tre Harris reach Round 3, Pick 5 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
The board fumbled Ashton Jeanty all the way to No. 77, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
Taking Aireontae Ersery in pick 80 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the 104th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
Somehow Jayden Higgins was still sitting there in the 106th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
Steal is underselling it; T.J. Sanders at Round 7, Pick 1 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 238th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
