Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a B.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Patriots came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Every board in the league had McCarthy lower, and that gap is the story.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A reach for J.J. McCarthy in Round 2, Pick 2; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
They paid sticker price for Byron Murphy II in pick No. 66, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
They took Devontez Walker at par in pick 102, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
