Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Quarterback settled, McCarthy in the fold, and a C- for the Patriots.

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. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C-.

On value alone, Jones makes the weekend a net positive. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

Sinnott has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Hit on J.J. McCarthy and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In No. 27 they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection.
Pick34 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
The board had cheaper options than Roman Wilson at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No drama and no debate, Chris Braswell went about where he belonged in slot 35. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 66th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A premium they did not need to pay, Cade Stover a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bucky Irving this early at the 71st overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
By-the-book stuff, Brenden Rice at pick No. 90 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at Round 4, Pick 4 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
A real head-scratcher, Roger Rosengarten in pick No. 125 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A reach on Tommy Eichenberg in pick 136; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick182 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They jumped the gun on Joe Milton III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 34, with Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
Somehow Elijah Jones was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
