Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots robbed the room for Newton. Final grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Josh Newton sat on the board until the 182nd pick, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice.

They will need Hunt to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joe Alt. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A reach on J.J. McCarthy in pick No. 34; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kingsley Suamataia in slot 68. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 DJ James
A tidy bit of business in the 103rd overall pick, where DJ James graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at pick 137 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick182 Rnd6 Josh Newton
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
Circle this one: Jarrian Jones at the 193rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick231 Rnd7 Tip Reiman
A clean, defensible pick in No. 231 with a little surplus value in Tip Reiman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick242 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in pick No. 242 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
