Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let Williams fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Patriots watched Miyan Williams slide 32 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 3 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They did well to land Troy Fautanu in Round 2, Pick 2, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson slid further than he should have, and the 86th overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter slipping to slot 103 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Nothing to complain about; Kamal Hadden went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick139 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
No edge and no loss on Drake Nugent in pick 139; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
A tidy little value on Cody Schrader in No. 164, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick182 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell at the 204th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omar Speights at No. 210 is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jalen Green
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalen Green at pick No. 224. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick229 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
A running back of that caliber at slot 229 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Donovan Jennings at Round 7, Pick 35 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
A quiet steal in pick 256: Aaron Frost for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
