Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
The Patriots won the night they stopped Clark from sliding. Grade: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: De'Corian Clark, the No. 192 name on the board, stolen at Round 7, Pick 4.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They are betting Milton III proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in the 35th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
The board had Keon Coleman higher than pick No. 36, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in Round 2, Pick 8 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Haynes a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They paid sticker price for Blake Fisher in pick 102, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
They took Jamari Thrash at par in slot 103, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They paid a round early for Joe Milton III in the 139th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in No. 182 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick188 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor is a better player than slot 188 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick224 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
Steal is underselling it; De'Corian Clark at pick 224 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
