Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall
A-
ValueA
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB-
The Patriots let Ward fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-. When a board-topper like Cam Ward slides to the 218th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Loveland reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Joe Alt leading the way.
Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at the Round 1 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick47
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
They jumped the gun on Colston Loveland, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72
Rnd3
Tyler Booker
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Booker at the 72nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick78
Rnd3
Walter Nolen
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Walter Nolen in No. 78, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85
Rnd3
Jahdae Barron
They will replay Jahdae Barron at slot 85 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108
Rnd4
Kenneth Grant
They robbed the room for Kenneth Grant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144
Rnd5
Tre Harris
Tre Harris in the 144th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216
Rnd7
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at pick 216 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218
Rnd7
Cam Ward
Cam Ward at pick No. 218 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick228
Rnd7
Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229
Rnd7
Josaiah Stewart
Circle this one: Josaiah Stewart at No. 229 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230
Rnd7
Tahj Brooks
A running back of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 16 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
The board fumbled Bryce Foster all the way to the 238th pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
