Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
A franchise passer in McCarthy headlines a C+ weekend 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.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The cost of the Hartman reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for J.J. McCarthy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Fair-plus on Adonai Mitchell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in No. 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in Round 4, Pick 3 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Jones in the 137th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in pick No. 180 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A big swing on Sam Hartman at slot 231, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
