Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureA+
The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the B.

Some picks age like wine; Joe Milton III at slot 103 will need to, sitting 59 spots clear of his grade. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at Round 2, Pick 2 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick42 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in pick No. 42 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 D.J. James
D.J. James at the 68th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick103 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
They reached into another round for Joe Milton III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick182 Rnd6 AJ Barner
No edge and no loss on AJ Barner in No. 182; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at No. 224 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick232 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Donovan Jennings at slot 232 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
