Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
The Patriots won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Patriots were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Adding T.J. Watt by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. Every board in the league had Savaiinaea lower, and that gap is the story.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in pick 38 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Donovan Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
