Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureB+
The Patriots checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Patriots did exactly that with Ben Sinnott in pick No. 103.

The Phillips pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in the 34th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick36 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A premium they did not need to pay, Patrick Paul a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at Round 2, Pick 8 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bucky Irving this early at the 68th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at slot 103 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and MarShawn Lloyd at Round 5, Pick 3 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick201 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Circle this one: Andru Phillips at slot 201 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
A slide stopped in the 224th overall pick, with Jawhar Jordan worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Darius Muasau at the Round 7 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick244 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kurtis Rourke. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252 Rnd7 Mark Perry
They let Mark Perry come to them and pounced at No. 252. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
