Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Coleman: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Keon Coleman, the No. 36 name on the board, stolen at Round 3, Pick 4. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Milton III to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 3 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in Round 2, Pick 2 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 68 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Trey Benson
A quiet steal in the 104th overall pick: Trey Benson for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Christian Jones
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in the 136th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They paid a round early for Joe Milton III in pick 182, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Erick All
Erick All in pick No. 229 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
