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

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 need Milroe to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The veteran additions, Landon Dickerson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Xavier Legette at slot 26. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick35 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in Round 2, Pick 3 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A conviction pick on Brian Thomas Jr. at No. 58 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Graham Barton
By-the-book stuff, Graham Barton at pick 103 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181 Rnd6 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in the 181st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jalen Milroe
Value said wait; Jalen Milroe in pick No. 228 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
