Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and Dart: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jaxson Dart had no business being available in the 83rd overall pick, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Roberts has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 3 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. slid further than he should have, and the 41st pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
Somehow Jaxson Dart was still sitting there in No. 83, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
Value said wait; Jaeden Roberts in the 108th overall pick says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Ja'Quinden Jackson
You do not let a running back like Ja'Quinden Jackson reach pick No. 124 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Blake Miller
Taking Blake Miller in pick 144 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in Round 6, Pick 37 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick216 Rnd7 Kamari Wilson
Kamari Wilson in slot 216 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218 Rnd7 Javontez Spraggins
They took Javontez Spraggins at par in pick 218, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jack Velling
Jack Velling at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
