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

The Patriots' one glaring miss is safety, a need they left exactly as they found it. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Grant pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Ingram-Dawkins reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

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

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
They paid sticker price for Tetairoa McMillan in pick 12, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant is a better player than slot 38 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Tre Harris
The board had Tre Harris higher than the 69th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They read the board right and Quinshon Judkins was the payoff at No. 76. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Fair-plus on Maxwell Hairston, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick106 Rnd4 Charles Grant
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 106, where Charles Grant graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the 144th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
A big swing on Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
