Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
The Patriots cashed the board's mistake on McGlothern: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Dwight McGlothern got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at the Round 6 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 13 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 2 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick44 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in slot 44 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They took Kiran Amegadjie at par in the 68th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They paid a round early for Trey Benson in pick 79, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 137th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Good price on Jaylin Simpson in pick No. 143, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick180 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Marist Liufau in the 180th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick193 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
They paid up for Ryan Flournoy at Round 6, Pick 18 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Taking Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 197 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick231 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
A tidy bit of business in the 231st overall pick, where JD Bertrand graded well above the range. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
