Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
The Patriots let Rosemy-Jacksaint fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

Somebody in Round 7, Pick 11 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, the No. 195 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The cost of the Milton III reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 20 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in the 34th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter in the 47th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick51 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in No. 51 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick 68 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Blake Corum
A quiet steal in slot 103: Blake Corum for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They paid sticker price for Jarrian Jones in Round 5, Pick 1, and that is fine. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at No. 180 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
They did well to land Daijun Edwards in slot 193, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Somehow Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint was still sitting there in pick No. 231, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
