Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 220: the Patriots steal Harris and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Tre Harris had no business being available in No. 220, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
A quiet steal in pick 38: Jack Sawyer for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
They will replay Wyatt Milum at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 77, where Jalen Royals graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at No. 104 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick143 Rnd5 Aireontae Ersery
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Aireontae Ersery in slot 143, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd7 Dylan Fairchild
Somehow Dylan Fairchild was still sitting there in the 217th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Steal is underselling it; Tre Harris at the 220th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238 Rnd7 Lander Barton
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 238 is the definition of value, full stop. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
