Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
Jones should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jarrian Jones at pick No. 182 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 3 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
No edge and no loss on J.J. McCarthy in pick No. 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Guyton at the 35th overall pick is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
They paid sticker price for Ja'Lynn Polk in the 68th pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at slot 104 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick136 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at No. 182 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick229 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
Somehow JD Bertrand was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 9, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
