Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA-
The Patriots drew a line under the quarterback search with McCarthy: D.

The phones were a trap the Patriots kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

J.J. McCarthy is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They will need McCarthy to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 9 they get a building block for the line at fair value.
Pick32 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 32nd pick they get a franchise quarterback, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey in pick 37 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the 87th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
They paid sticker price for Sataoa Laumea in No. 121, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Good price on Kris Abrams-Draine in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
No drama and no debate, Jaheim Bell went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 3. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
