Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots let McGlothern fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Of all the ways to open, the Patriots chose the head-scratcher, spending Round 4, Pick 3 on Javon Solomon with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots still wide open.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. If one pick saves this weekend, it is McGlothern.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 3 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Bo Nix
A tidy little value on Bo Nix in Round 2, Pick 2, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Nothing to complain about; Kingsley Suamataia went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick137 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in pick No. 137 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at No. 180 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at the 193rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
