Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Patriots a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Patriots took Josh Williams at No. 224, roughly 91 spots before his name belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
They took Marvin Harrison Jr. at par in Round 1, Pick 3, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They went early on J.J. McCarthy in pick No. 34, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in the 68th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
They did well to land Tykee Smith in pick 103, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in No. 139 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
A wild overpay on Xavier Thomas in the 182nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick224 Rnd7 Josh Williams
Josh Williams at Round 7, Pick 4 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
