Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Patriots a B+.

Nobody else had Christian Jones anywhere near pick No. 136. The Patriots did, by 72 spots, and that gap is the whole story. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Tracy Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
The board had cheaper options than J.J. McCarthy at the 34th pick, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 42 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Fair-plus on Jonathon Brooks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
By-the-book stuff, Christian Mahogany at the 80th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick136 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick 136 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Davis went about where he belonged in pick 183. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They read the board right and Tyrone Tracy Jr. was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 3. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick229 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at slot 229 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
