Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A franchise passer in McCarthy headlines a B+ weekend for the Patriots.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to J.J. McCarthy, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The Jordan pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That Jackson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick No. 27 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 34th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick50 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Troy Franklin at slot 50. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at No. 53 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
By-the-book stuff, Sedrick Van Pran at pick 71 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103 Rnd4 Brandon Dorlus
A edge rusher of that caliber at the 103rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in Round 5, Pick 1 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
They did well to land Layden Robinson in pick 180, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
The board had Ty'Ron Hopper higher than slot 193, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jawhar Jordan. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
