Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on Stewart: A-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Josaiah Stewart, the No. 42 name on the board, stolen at the 253rd pick.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

In the end it comes back to Jahdae Barron, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick69 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
You do not let a cornerback like Jahdae Barron reach No. 69 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in the 77th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick102 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
The board fumbled Wyatt Milum all the way to Round 4, Pick 1, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tyler Booker
Somehow Tyler Booker was still sitting there in slot 105, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cam Ward
Cam Ward at pick 122 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick177 Rnd6 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the 177th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick253 Rnd7 Josaiah Stewart
They robbed the room for Josaiah Stewart here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
