Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Patriots.

Some picks age like wine; Malik Mustapha at No. 137 will need to, sitting 33 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 3 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A clean, defensible pick in pick 34 with a little surplus value in J.J. McCarthy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
They paid a round early for Elijah Jones in the 103rd overall pick, more than the board wanted. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick137 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at the 137th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
A straight-up fair deal on Tip Reiman at Round 6, Pick 5, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jase McClellan. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
No drama and no debate, Tylan Grable went about where he belonged in pick 231. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
