Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots answered their biggest question with McCarthy. Grade: B+.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Patriots spent their marquee pick on J.J. McCarthy, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Richardson. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In slot 13 they get their guy under center for the next decade, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They paid sticker price for Jordan Morgan in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Blake Fisher. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Mahogany in Round 4, Pick 3. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in pick 137 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick180 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in the 180th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick199 Rnd6 Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson at pick No. 199 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick231 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton at the 231st overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
The board had cheaper options than Sam Hartman at Round 7, Pick 19, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
