Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
The Patriots won the night they stopped Brownlee Jr. from sliding. Grade: C+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jarvis Brownlee Jr. had no business being available in pick 182, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

If Coker pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In slot 27 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in Round 2, Pick 2 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick35 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
A premium they did not need to pay, Roman Wilson a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 66th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They reached a country mile for Bucky Irving at No. 68, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at pick 71 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A tidy bit of business in the 90th pick, where Cooper Beebe graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A reach for Tommy Eichenberg in pick 136; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the 182nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Coker in slot 222, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick229 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy in No. 229 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
