Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB TradesD FutureA+
The Patriots let Sanders fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. T.J. Sanders at pick No. 220 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in the 54th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
A running back of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 3 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at slot 69 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at pick No. 77 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at No. 108 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick143 Rnd5 Josaiah Stewart
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Josaiah Stewart in the 143rd pick, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dylan Fairchild
The board fumbled Dylan Fairchild all the way to pick No. 184, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in slot 217 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like T.J. Sanders reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Kyle Kennard
Circle this one: Kyle Kennard at pick 238 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
