Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureA-
A franchise passer in McCarthy headlines a B weekend for the Patriots.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to J.J. McCarthy, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

Polk falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In No. 24 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Fair-plus on Kool-Aid McKinstry, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in Round 2, Pick 11 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick45 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They did well to land Ja'Tavion Sanders in the 45th pick, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at pick No. 56 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at slot 68 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 Ja'Lynn Polk
You do not let a wide receiver like Ja'Lynn Polk reach the 103rd overall pick and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
Nothing to complain about; DeWayne Carter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick137 Rnd5 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in No. 137 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
By-the-book stuff, Dominique Hampton at the 180th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
They robbed the room for Jaylin Simpson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick231 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing JD Bertrand in the 231st overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick244 Rnd7 KT Leveston
Steal is underselling it; KT Leveston at slot 244 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
