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

Nobody had Joe Milton III this high, and it is not close. The Patriots reached 51 spots to get him at pick 148. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hardy. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Good price on Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 34, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Nothing to complain about; Christian Haynes went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bucky Irving at slot 104. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They liked Javon Foster enough to skip the value, taking him in the 111th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 136th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Milton III this early at pick 148. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A premium they did not need to pay, Zion Tupuola-Fetui a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Circle this one: Daequan Hardy at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
