Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots let Stewart fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

When a board-topper like Josaiah Stewart slides to pick No. 238, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Adding Justin Jefferson by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Bottom line, with Ashton Jeanty leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at the 38th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Taking Jahdae Barron in pick 69 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cam Ward
Cam Ward in pick No. 106 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in No. 144 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick217 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 217 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
Somehow T.J. Sanders was still sitting there in the 220th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Josaiah Stewart
They will replay Josaiah Stewart at the 238th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
