Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
McCoy should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a A-.

The board owed the Patriots one, and it paid up: Bru McCoy, the No. 187 name on the board, sitting there at slot 224 like a gift left on the doorstep. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The cost of the McCarthy reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jordan Morgan and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Morgan in slot 33. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They went early on J.J. McCarthy in No. 34, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick45 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
A tidy little value on Devontez Walker in the 45th overall pick, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss slipping to pick No. 68 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 6: Tykee Smith for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
The board had Kamal Hadden higher than the Round 5 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
No drama and no debate, Jonah Monheim went about where he belonged in pick 168. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
Fair-plus on Jacob Cowing, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in pick 184; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
Steal is underselling it; Bru McCoy at Round 7, Pick 4 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
