Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Patriots let Jones fall into their laps, and walked away with a C+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Patriots were there to profit. Jarrian Jones, the No. 136 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 183.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Rice pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In slot 6 they get a red-zone target to build around. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A slide stopped in pick 37, with J.J. McCarthy worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick47 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They let Xavier Legette come to them and pounced at pick No. 47. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the 68th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brenden Rice this early at No. 70. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in Round 3, Pick 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick107 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They took Matt Goncalves at par in the 107th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at slot 129 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They went early on Luke McCaffrey in No. 137, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Myles Cole
A conviction pick on Myles Cole at the 180th overall pick that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
Steal is underselling it; Jarrian Jones at pick 183 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick193 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Javontae Jean-Baptiste well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Julian Pearl at the 219th pick is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylan Ford at Round 7, Pick 2. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick231 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They paid a round early for Josh Proctor in No. 231, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
