Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Patriots: B.

The Patriots' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it.

However the rest shakes out, Irving at that price is a win they earned. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 3 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Morgan at the 34th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Blake Fisher. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Nice patience on Bucky Irving, who had no business lasting to No. 104. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A tidy little value on Ben Sinnott in pick No. 136, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the 182nd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick229 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Frank Gore Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
