Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB+
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Patriots.

The Patriots looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Joe Milton III at No. 165 regardless, 34 picks early.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Hadden value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 9 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Value with a capital V on Troy Fautanu in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy slipping to Round 3, Pick 4 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson is a better player than pick No. 104 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick111 Rnd4 Renardo Green
No drama and no debate, Renardo Green went about where he belonged in slot 111. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A tidy bit of business in pick 136, where Johnny Wilson graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They reached a country mile for Joe Milton III at Round 5, Pick 29, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They read the board right and Kamal Hadden was the payoff at slot 182. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
