Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots won the night they stopped Jones from sliding. Grade: B.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jarrian Jones, the No. 136 name on the board, in pick No. 180.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 3 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Laiatu Latu
Laiatu Latu in the 34th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kiran Amegadjie. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at Round 4, Pick 3 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick137 Rnd5 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at pick 137 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick193 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
No edge and no loss on Joe Milton III in slot 193; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Magee at No. 231. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
