Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureA+
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Patriots.

The Patriots clearly saw something nobody else did in Sheridan Jones, taking him 31 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Wilson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
A straight-up fair deal on Taliese Fuaga at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick35 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bralen Trice at No. 35 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick46 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell slipping to slot 46 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
A tidy bit of business in the 68th overall pick, where Kiran Amegadjie graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
The board had Jalen McMillan higher than pick No. 103, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
They robbed the room for Roman Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in Round 5, Pick 3 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Mike Sainristil in slot 153, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick182 Rnd6 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones in pick 182 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick224 Rnd7 Turner Corcoran
Taking Turner Corcoran in the 224th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee slid further than he should have, and pick No. 225 is lovely value for the linebacker. A minor itch, scratched.
