Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a D to match.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Isaiah Davis, the Round 7 slot, roughly 97 picks past where he belonged. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

The cost of the Paul reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The whole projection now runs through J.J. McCarthy; hit there and everything else looks smarter.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a passer to set the clock by, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in No. 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Roman Wilson at pick No. 41, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at slot 54 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at No. 68 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Nice patience on Blake Fisher, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at Round 3, Pick 25 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick101 Rnd4 Will Shipley
A conviction pick on Will Shipley at the 101st overall pick that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A reach on Johnny Wilson in pick 110; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Austin Booker
The board fumbled Austin Booker all the way to the 120th pick, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137 Rnd5 Renardo Green
They barely believed it either: Renardo Green still on the board at No. 137. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Steal is underselling it; Ben Sinnott at pick 151 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Cornelius Johnson
No drama and no debate, Cornelius Johnson went about where he belonged in slot 161. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
They took Fabien Lovett at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Circle this one: Trevor Keegan at the 197th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in Round 7, Pick 14 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick252 Rnd7 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in pick No. 252 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
