Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Patriots came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Rice pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

They will need Mims to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on J.J. McCarthy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67 Rnd3 Amarius Mims
They paid a round early for Amarius Mims in the 67th pick, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brenden Rice at pick No. 103. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
They went early on Malachi Moore in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at Round 6, Pick 6 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick224 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Nothing to complain about; Bryson Nesbit went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
