Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 193: the Patriots steal McGlothern and grade out a B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Dwight McGlothern, the No. 161 name on the board, stolen at pick 193. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
They paid sticker price for Brian Thomas Jr. in No. 28, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
No drama and no debate, Ja'Tavion Sanders went about where he belonged in pick 34. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick35 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 3: Graham Barton for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
A straight-up fair deal on Jermaine Burton at pick No. 47, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at slot 66 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 68th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at the 71st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the 90th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Sedrick Van Pran
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 3 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Taking Dwight McGlothern in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick231 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They did well to land Frank Gore Jr. in No. 231, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Somehow Tatum Bethune was still sitting there in the 256th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
