Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Devonshire should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B-.

Somebody in No. 212 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Patriots sat still while M.J. Devonshire, the No. 182 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
No drama and no debate, J.J. McCarthy went about where he belonged in the 34th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in Round 2, Pick 5 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton at slot 69 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 104th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick136 Rnd4 Marcus Harris
They took Marcus Harris at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Caedan Wallace. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at pick 183 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, M.J. Devonshire in pick No. 212, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick229 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor slipping to the 229th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
