FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Patriots: B. The one they had to fix is still broken. The Patriots left edge rusher untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The trade work was a quiet net positive. They are betting Mims proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 3 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at slot 35 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68
Rnd3
Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at the 68th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103
Rnd4
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick No. 103 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 32 with a little surplus value in Tommy Eichenberg. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick140
Rnd5
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the 140th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
