Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
The Patriots lost the trade table, and the B- tells the story.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Patriots, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Every board in the league had McCarthy lower, and that gap is the story.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A conviction pick on J.J. McCarthy at pick 34 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick46 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in Round 2, Pick 14; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 68 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Roman Wilson at the 82nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in No. 103, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They took Ben Sinnott at par in slot 139, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Barrett. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick224 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver in slot 224 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
