Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D-
ValueA NeedB TradesF FutureD
Ward should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a D-.

When a board-topper like Cam Ward slides to the Round 6 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick No. 4 they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69 Rnd3 Mike Green
Mike Green in the 69th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tre Harris
The board fumbled Tre Harris all the way to slot 78, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Josaiah Stewart
They will replay Josaiah Stewart at Round 4, Pick 4 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213 Rnd6 Cam Ward
Cam Ward at No. 213 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick222 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 222nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, T.J. Sanders in the 240th overall pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
