Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueC NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a A- to match.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. J.J. McCarthy is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

Reaching for Sinnott left real value on the table behind him. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

The Dial value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick 27 they get their quarterback of the future, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
No drama and no debate, Tyler Guyton went about where he belonged in the 35th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A straight-up fair deal on Patrick Paul at pick No. 44, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at Round 3, Pick 4 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A conviction pick on Bucky Irving at the 77th pick that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
A wild overpay on Ben Sinnott in No. 97, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136 Rnd4 James Williams
By-the-book stuff, James Williams at the 136th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick137 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick 137 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
They paid a round early for Roger Rosengarten in the 170th pick, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick212 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in pick No. 212 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick222 Rnd7 Omar Speights
They took Omar Speights at par in slot 222, which is nothing to complain about. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick229 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
Marcellas Dial at No. 229 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
