Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots won the night they stopped McCord from sliding. Grade: A-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Kyle McCord, the No. 125 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 219. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick20 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick 20 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Value with a capital V on Wyatt Milum in the 44th overall pick, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
The board fumbled Demetrius Knight Jr. all the way to slot 94, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jalen Royals
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jalen Royals in the 103rd pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 4, Pick 4 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick No. 116 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 145 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Emery Jones Jr.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Emery Jones Jr. reach slot 202 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kyle McCord
They will replay Kyle McCord at pick No. 219 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Steal is underselling it; Luke Lachey at Round 7, Pick 4 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
They barely believed it either: Bhayshul Tuten still on the board at the 240th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
