Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Patriots and McCoy: B.

The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jermod McCoy fell into slot 207.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
They will replay Francis Mauigoa at pick 30 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick62 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
Circle this one: Arvell Reese at Round 2, Pick 30 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick94 Rnd3 Carnell Tate
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 94 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane at slot 125 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick130 Rnd4 David Bailey
You do not let an edge rusher like David Bailey reach No. 130 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore in the 189th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jordyn Tyson
Taking Jordyn Tyson in the 200th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jermod McCoy
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jermod McCoy in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
The board fumbled Sonny Styles all the way to slot 209, and they scooped it up. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick246 Rnd7 Connor Lew
They robbed the room for Connor Lew here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
