Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Patriots, and a B- to prove it.

There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Patriots never got to the one that mattered most. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If Milton III pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Wallace steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 11 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In slot 23 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at Round 2, Pick 2 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the 68th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in pick 137 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick180 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 180th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Isaiah Williams at pick No. 193. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
Somehow Caedan Wallace was still sitting there in the 231st overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
