Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureA
Grand theft in the 83rd pick: the Patriots steal Milroe and grade out a B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jalen Milroe got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at the 83rd overall pick.

Reaching for Nesbit left real value on the table behind him. The veteran additions, Calvin Ridley chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 19 they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick20 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 20th pick they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond is a better player than Round 2, Pick 3 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick36 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They paid sticker price for Deone Walker in slot 36, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick50 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in pick 59 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Circle this one: Jalen Milroe at pick No. 83 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
No edge and no loss on DeMonte Capehart in the 125th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad in No. 139 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick148 Rnd5 Donovan Edwards
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Edwards. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick157 Rnd5 Bryson Nesbit
Value said wait; Bryson Nesbit in Round 5, Pick 19 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Shilo Sanders
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shilo Sanders. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jason Henderson
Jason Henderson at slot 217 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick220 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
This one needs a full-page explanation: Collin Oliver in the Round 7 slot, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235 Rnd7 PJ Williams
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and PJ Williams at the 235th pick is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
