Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B.

The Patriots bet big and early on Javontae Jean-Baptiste, 24 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That Mustapha pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 3rd overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Nothing to complain about; Bo Nix went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in slot 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
They liked Elijah Jones enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 3. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick137 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick 137 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha slid further than he should have, and the 180th pick is lovely value for the safety. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They reached into another round for Javontae Jean-Baptiste, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
A reach for Jordan Whittington in slot 231; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
