Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

FutureA+
Quarterback settled, McCarthy in the fold, and a B for the Patriots. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Patriots spent their marquee pick on J.J. McCarthy, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
They are betting Sinnott proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The Patriots clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
In pick 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick28
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In No. 28 they get a long-term answer under center, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
They liked Xavier Worthy enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 34. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick45
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 45th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick60
Rnd2
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at Round 2, Pick 28 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in slot 68 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90
Rnd3
Bucky Irving
No edge and no loss on Bucky Irving in the 90th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139
Rnd5
James Williams
Nothing to complain about; James Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182
Rnd6
Julian Pearl
No drama and no debate, Julian Pearl went about where he belonged in the 182nd pick. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick188
Rnd6
AJ Barner
They paid sticker price for AJ Barner in pick No. 188, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200
Rnd6
Isaiah Williams
They took Isaiah Williams at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
A real head-scratcher, Matthew Jones in slot 224 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232
Rnd7
Kurtis Rourke
They paid up for Kurtis Rourke at No. 232 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
