Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 12 lands the Patriots a B-, Wiley and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Michael Wiley got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 232. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The cost of the Baker reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
No edge and no loss on Joe Alt in No. 3; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
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 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at pick 68 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in Round 4, Pick 3 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in the 139th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 182nd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They reached a country mile for Dwight McGlothern at slot 224, and the board is aghast. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick232 Rnd7 Michael Wiley
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Michael Wiley in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
