Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
McCarthy is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a B.

The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on J.J. McCarthy, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 11 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Morgan at the 34th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson is a better player than the 68th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick114 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Andru Phillips at No. 114. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick137 Rnd5 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at pick No. 137 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
The board fumbled Jacob Cowing all the way to slot 180, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tip Reiman in the Round 6 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Good price on Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 231, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
