New England Patriots

The Patriots bled value on every deal, hence the C+.

Future A

The Patriots spent real capital to be 118 picks early on Jawhar Jordan, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 24
In slot 17 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 42
Keon Coleman in the 34th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 59
Kingsley Suamataia at pick No. 53 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Cade Stover · TE · rank 74
By-the-book stuff, Cade Stover at No. 68 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 101
Cam Hart in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 126
No drama and no debate, Johnny Wilson went about where he belonged in pick 120. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Brandon Coleman · OL · rank 185
Value said wait; Brandon Coleman in the 137th pick says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 279
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jawhar Jordan. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
Joe Milton III at pick No. 172 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Jalen Coker · WR · rank 251
A big swing on Jalen Coker at Round 6, Pick 5, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Dylan McMahon · C · rank 293
They reached a country mile for Dylan McMahon at pick 193, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Eric Watts · DL-EDGE · rank 230
They took Eric Watts at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
