Draft Grade — Patriots

FutureA
The Patriots answered their biggest question with McCarthy. Grade: C+. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Patriots spent their marquee pick on J.J. McCarthy, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Harden. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The Davis reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In No. 11 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
No drama and no debate, J.J. McCarthy went about where he belonged in pick No. 23. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey in Round 2, Pick 2 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Kingsley Suamataia worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the 72nd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
Fair-plus on Christian Mahogany, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
They reached a country mile for Isaiah Davis at the 137th pick, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180
Rnd6
Myles Cole
They left a pile of value on the table to take Myles Cole this early at pick 180. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
They went early on Jaylen Harrell in slot 193, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231
Rnd7
Garret Greenfield
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Garret Greenfield at the 231st overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232
Rnd7
Myles Harden
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 232 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jalen Coker
Nothing to complain about; Jalen Coker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257
Rnd7
Darius Muasau
No edge and no loss on Darius Muasau in pick 257; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
