BBB DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots

Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

FutureA+
The Patriots robbed the room for Pearl. Final grade: C+. You build a draft on nights like this. Julian Pearl had no business being available in pick 253, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
The Eboigbe reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
Hit on Marvin Harrison Jr. and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 7th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34
Rnd2
Joe Alt
Joe Alt in Round 2, Pick 2 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick38
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
They let J.J. McCarthy come to them and pounced at pick 38. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick47
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
They jumped the gun on Kingsley Suamataia, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick50
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
They reached into another round for Patrick Paul, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
By-the-book stuff, Devontez Walker at the 69th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A reach on Maason Smith in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
They liked Javon Solomon enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 103. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick105
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at No. 106 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick109
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the 109th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Justin Eboigbe this early at pick 110. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Marist Liufau
They talked themselves into Marist Liufau at the 129th pick, and the board did not agree. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick137
Rnd5
AJ Barner
They reached a country mile for AJ Barner at slot 137, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jared Wiley
Value said wait; Jared Wiley in Round 5, Pick 3 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick167
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 167 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick180
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
A real head-scratcher, Joe Milton III in No. 180 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick225
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick253
Rnd7
Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at slot 253 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
