Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB
A passer of the future in McCarthy, and a C, for the Patriots.

Start where it matters. The Patriots took J.J. McCarthy to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Flournoy. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

If J.J. McCarthy and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick No. 11 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at No. 27 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick28 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 28th overall pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
No edge and no loss on Ladd McConkey in slot 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum in the 72nd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A clean, defensible pick in pick 103 with a little surplus value in Brenden Rice. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick137 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
They let Malik Mustapha come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at pick 226 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Magee in the 231st overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick257 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
A reasonable price with a little left over, LaDarius Henderson in pick No. 257. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
