Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC- FutureC
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Patriots: C+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Patriots took Micah Morris at the 222nd overall pick, roughly 86 spots before his name belonged.

That Knight Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
No drama and no debate, Tetairoa McMillan went about where he belonged in Round 1, Pick 4. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick38 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A reach on Aireontae Ersery in slot 38; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
No edge and no loss on Tate Ratledge in pick 69; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 96 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick111 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Vernon Broughton this early at the 111th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They barely believed it either: Demetrius Knight Jr. still on the board at the 118th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick145 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at pick No. 219 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris in slot 222 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick240 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at Round 7, Pick 22 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
