Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 3 slot: the Patriots steal Morgan and grade out a B.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Jordan Morgan, the No. 37 name on the board, sitting there at Round 3, Pick 4 like a gift left on the doorstep.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 3rd overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
A tidy bit of business in the 34th pick, where Amarius Mims graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in pick No. 68 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103 Rnd4 Brandon Dorlus
Somehow Brandon Dorlus was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd5 Josh Newton
A quiet steal in pick 137: Josh Newton for less than the market said. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
Good price on Jordan Travis in Round 6, Pick 5, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
They let Jha'Quan Jackson come to them and pounced at slot 193. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
