Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureA+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B+.

The Patriots treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 187th pick on Javontae Jean-Baptiste a full 30 spots early. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The Xavier McKinney pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at Round 2, Pick 2 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in No. 41. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A premium they did not need to pay, Kingsley Suamataia a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at pick 68 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at slot 100 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They paid sticker price for Braelon Allen in the 103rd pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
They took Spencer Rattler at par in pick No. 113, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They jumped the gun on Mohamed Kamara, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick137 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick 137 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in slot 143 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
No edge and no loss on Dwight McGlothern in the 163rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick165 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at Round 5, Pick 29 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cornelius Johnson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181 Rnd6 Myles Cole
A reach for Myles Cole in pick 181; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A conviction pick on Joe Milton III at pick No. 186 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
This one needs a full-page explanation: Javontae Jean-Baptiste in slot 187, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
They did well to land JD Bertrand in the 225th pick, just ahead of his grade. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick228 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
A reach on Josh Proctor in No. 228; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
