New England Patriots

Quarterback settled, McCarthy in the fold, and a B for the Patriots.

Future B

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. J.J. McCarthy is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. However the rest shakes out, Hart at that price is a win they earned.

Coker has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 27
In the 11th overall pick they get their quarterback of the future, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
R1.23 · Pick 23 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 23
In pick 23 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 47
Xavier Worthy in pick No. 47 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 74
By-the-book stuff, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 68th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
A tidy bit of business in No. 103, where Khyree Jackson graded well above the range. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 102
Ben Sinnott at Round 4, Pick 7 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 115
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 137 is the definition of value, full stop. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Sione Vaki · S · rank 182
No edge and no loss on Sione Vaki in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 187
No drama and no debate, Khristian Boyd went about where he belonged in the 183rd overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Jalen Coker · WR · rank 211
They reached into another round for Jalen Coker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 223
The board had JD Bertrand higher than No. 231, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
