Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Jones: C+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Trente Jones slide, and the Patriots were the ones holding the card at pick No. 231. Highway robbery.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Every board in the league had Milton III lower, and that gap is the story.

If JC Latham and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 JC Latham
Taking JC Latham in Round 2, Pick 1 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick34 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Bo Nix at the 34th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in slot 39 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jordan Morgan
They robbed the room for Jordan Morgan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cade Stover. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A reach on Luke McCaffrey in No. 137; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They reached a country mile for Joe Milton III at pick 180, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Myles Cole
Myles Cole at the 193rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Trente Jones
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 231st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
