Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

NeedB

FutureA+
Quarterback settled, McCarthy in the fold, and a A- for the Patriots. Call it larceny. Graham Barton sat on the board until pick 103, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.
They have staked the next five years on J.J. McCarthy, which is the only story that really matters here. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
Spending an early pick on cornerback with interior defensive lineman and safety open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In pick 25 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nate Wiggins at Round 2, Pick 2 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick53
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
Somehow Ladd McConkey was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 21, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68
Rnd3
Kool-Aid McKinstry
A want over a need in pick 68: Kool-Aid McKinstry adds a cornerback while interior defensive lineman and safety keeps waiting.
Pick103
Rnd4
Graham Barton
They will replay Graham Barton at the 103rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
The board fumbled Ben Sinnott all the way to No. 137, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180
Rnd6
Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at slot 180 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231
Rnd7
Keith Randolph Jr.
A quiet steal in pick No. 231: Keith Randolph Jr. for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
