Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureC+
The Patriots lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Joe Milton III, 47 picks early at No. 153.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

On value alone, Hart makes the weekend a net positive.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 3 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They jumped the gun on T'Vondre Sweat, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the 68th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in pick 86 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A straight-up fair deal on Jaden Hicks at slot 87, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at the 114th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick137 Rnd5 Cam Hart
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 137 is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick153 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 153rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
