Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureF
A passer of the future in McCarthy, and a C+, for the Patriots.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. J.J. McCarthy is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

However the rest shakes out, Oladapo at that price is a win they earned. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Hit on J.J. McCarthy and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get the face of the franchise, though they paid up to get him.
Pick23 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In No. 23 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
A quiet steal in the 34th overall pick: Kool-Aid McKinstry for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They paid up for Kingsley Suamataia at pick No. 47 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at pick 68 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Will Shipley
No drama and no debate, Will Shipley went about where he belonged in the 103rd pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A clean, defensible pick in slot 137 with a little surplus value in Christian Jones. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
A straight-up fair deal on Tip Reiman at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
They paid sticker price for Michael Barrett in the 231st pick, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
