Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB-
Quarterback settled, McCarthy in the fold, and a B- for the Patriots.

The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on J.J. McCarthy, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

Richardson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 11th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in slot 34 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis at pick 108 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams at No. 137 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177 Rnd6 Dallin Holker
You do not let a tight end like Dallin Holker reach the 177th overall pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180 Rnd6 Josh Newton
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 180 is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick193 Rnd6 James Williams
Somehow James Williams was still sitting there in pick No. 193, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick230 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
No drama and no debate, Julian Pearl went about where he belonged in the 230th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Decamerion Richardson
Circle this one: Decamerion Richardson at No. 231 is a fall that decides a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
