Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
James should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a A.

When a board-topper like Jordan James slides to pick 236, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A.

The Johnson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, with Wyatt Milum leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the 14th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jahdae Barron in Round 2, Pick 8, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tez Johnson
A big swing on Tez Johnson at the 49th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Taking Tate Ratledge in No. 71 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Steal is underselling it; Tre Harris at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in pick No. 81 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Bradyn Swinson
Circle this one: Bradyn Swinson at slot 98 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at pick 107 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jalon Walker
They barely believed it either: Jalon Walker still on the board at the Round 5 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick219 Rnd7 Trey Amos
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 5 is the definition of value, full stop. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick222 Rnd7 Malachi Moore
You do not let a safety like Malachi Moore reach the 222nd overall pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jordan James
They will replay Jordan James at the 236th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
