Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a A.

The Patriots bet big and early on Jalen Milroe, 36 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Patriots paired the rookies with proven help, Landon Dickerson leading the way.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They took J.J. McCarthy at par in the 35th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in Round 3, Pick 3 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in pick No. 144; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick181 Rnd6 Christian Mahogany
A reach on Christian Mahogany in No. 181; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jalen Milroe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Milroe in slot 224, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
