Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B+.

The Patriots' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it.

On value alone, Milton III makes the weekend a net positive. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 3rd pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They paid sticker price for Troy Fautanu in pick No. 34, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at Round 4, Pick 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They let Joe Milton III come to them and pounced at slot 168. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
They read the board right and Isaiah Williams was the payoff at the 231st overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
A reasonable price with a little left over, Miles Frazier in pick 240. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
