Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Patriots spent the 139th pick on Javon Baker, a name the board had a full 39 spots lower. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 3 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A reach on J.J. McCarthy in No. 34; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at pick No. 68 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 139th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in slot 182 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick251 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
No drama and no debate, Dwight McGlothern went about where he belonged in No. 251. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
