Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

FutureA+
The Patriots fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Joe Milton III at pick No. 136 is 63 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.
Getting Jones where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in pick 27 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick30
Rnd1
Ja'Tavion Sanders
In the 30th overall pick they get a red-zone target to build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
They did well to land Kingsley Suamataia in slot 62, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
A clean, defensible pick in No. 68 with a little surplus value in Christian Haynes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Trey Benson in Round 3, Pick 30 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Renardo Green
They went early on Renardo Green in the 104th overall pick, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136
Rnd4
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in pick No. 136 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jarrian Jones
They robbed the room for Jarrian Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick229
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor is a better player than Round 7, Pick 9 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
