Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a A-.

Start where it matters. The Patriots took J.J. McCarthy to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. McCarthy has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Jackson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

In the end it comes back to J.J. McCarthy, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 18th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by, a steep price for the projection.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
No drama and no debate, Ladd McConkey went about where he belonged in slot 34. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They took Patrick Paul at par in pick No. 69, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 102 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick104 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on MarShawn Lloyd. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
No edge and no loss on Sataoa Laumea in pick 116; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jamari Thrash in the 136th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141 Rnd5 AJ Barner
A swing that ignored the value entirely, AJ Barner well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in pick No. 182 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick229 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
They paid sticker price for Tayvion Robinson in pick 229, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
