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

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Patriots spent their marquee pick on J.J. McCarthy, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

Getting McCaffrey where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Every board in the league had Corum lower, and that gap is the story.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
Fair-plus on Troy Fautanu, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick29 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
A straight-up fair deal on Ladd McConkey at slot 29, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry slid further than he should have, and pick 33 is lovely value for the cornerback. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A premium they did not need to pay, Blake Corum a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Circle this one: Luke McCaffrey at the 180th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
A reasonable price with a little left over, JD Bertrand in No. 226. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
