Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA- FutureA
Quarterback settled, McCarthy in the fold, and a B+ for the Patriots.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. J.J. McCarthy is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The Tupuola-Fetui reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In slot 22 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at pick 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu is a better player than No. 35 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick50 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They reached a country mile for Patrick Paul at the 50th pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick53 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A wild overpay on Xavier Legette in pick No. 53, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
By-the-book stuff, Sedrick Van Pran at the 68th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
No edge and no loss on Xavier Worthy in Round 3, Pick 5; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ben Sinnott. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They paid up for Kitan Oladapo at Round 5, Pick 1 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
They read the board right and Marist Liufau was the payoff at slot 180. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick181 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at pick 181 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick231 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Myles Harden in pick No. 231 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick253 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Nice patience on Daijahn Anthony, who had no business lasting to the 253rd pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
