Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Stewart fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Josaiah Stewart had no business being available in the 238th overall pick, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. No fireworks, but a solid B.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 4th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Circle this one: Wyatt Milum at the 38th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Nothing to complain about; Jalen Royals went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 77 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ashton Jeanty
They will replay Ashton Jeanty at pick 104 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dylan Fairchild
They barely believed it either: Dylan Fairchild still on the board at Round 5, Pick 6. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in No. 217 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at Round 7, Pick 22 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
