Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Patriots left edge rusher untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

Reaching for Stockton left real value on the table behind him. The back end got a real overhaul.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in slot 35 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick99 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in the 99th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd5 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams at No. 131 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick195 Rnd7 Gunner Stockton
A reach for Gunner Stockton in pick 195; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
