Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Kiser: A.

When a board-topper like Jack Kiser slides to the 217th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not. Very little went wrong, and the A is earned.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in slot 38 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson is a better player than pick No. 69 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They took Donovan Jackson at par in pick 77, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ozzy Trapilo at No. 97 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They did well to land Cam Skattebo in the 106th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
A quiet steal in the 144th pick: Mello Dotson for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at Round 7, Pick 1 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in No. 220 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
They robbed the room for Jermari Harris here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
