Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Dart should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a A-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jaxson Dart got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 194.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

In the end it comes back to Abdul Carter, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 17th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. Need was not the driver here.
Pick34 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Landon Jackson. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick49 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
They did well to land Isaiah Bond in slot 49, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Earnest Greene III
Good price on Earnest Greene III in pick 66, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
No drama and no debate, Sonny Styles went about where he belonged in pick No. 85. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
No edge and no loss on Anthony Belton in the 88th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd4 Devin Neal
They paid sticker price for Devin Neal in No. 98, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at Round 5, Pick 2 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick194 Rnd7 Jaxson Dart
Circle this one: Jaxson Dart at the 194th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
A slide stopped in No. 216, with Fentrell Cypress II worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
