Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
McCarthy is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a A-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. J.J. McCarthy is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

The McGlothern pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

With interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick No. 23 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 2: Troy Fautanu for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in the 37th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick47 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at No. 47 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with T.J. Tampa while clear needs at interior defensive lineman sat open.
Pick69 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy is a better player than the 69th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Blake Corum
They barely believed it either: Blake Corum still on the board at pick 105. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jonah Elliss
They robbed the room for Jonah Elliss here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chau Smith-Wade in No. 137. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick140 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
They took Isaiah Adams at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in pick No. 180 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaheim Bell
A tidy bit of business in the 181st pick, where Jaheim Bell graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Layden Robinson in slot 182. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in Round 6, Pick 18 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
They paid sticker price for Dominique Hampton in the 231st overall pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
