Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureB
A passer of the future in McCarthy, and a B+, for the Patriots.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to J.J. McCarthy, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Sainristil at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Every board in the league had McCarthy lower, and that gap is the story.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick 27 they get a franchise quarterback, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They let Jordan Morgan come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in No. 68 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the 90th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
Steal is underselling it; Mike Sainristil at pick No. 108 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
