Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a B.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Patriots were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Every board in the league had McMillan lower, and that gap is the story. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mertz.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick102 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
A conviction pick on Jalen McMillan at Round 4, Pick 2 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at slot 180 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
Value with a capital V on Graham Mertz in pick No. 223, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
