Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Ferguson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

When a board-topper like Terrance Ferguson slides to No. 144, you do not overthink it, and the Patriots did not. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Reaching for Ersery left real value on the table behind him. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Aireontae Ersery
In pick No. 29 they get a cornerstone up front, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Donovan Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
No edge and no loss on Andrew Mukuba in No. 77; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
Circle this one: Terrance Ferguson at the 144th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Somehow Jarquez Hunter was still sitting there in slot 217, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Taking Jay Higgins in pick 220 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
A tidy bit of business in the 238th overall pick, where Cam Horsley graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
