Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots let Jones fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Christian Jones got past him. The Patriots do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 182.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Every board in the league had Mahogany lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A premium they did not need to pay, J.J. McCarthy a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at pick 68 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at pick No. 69 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Johnny Wilson well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Tyrone Tracy Jr. at No. 106, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the 136th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick182 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Steal is underselling it; Christian Jones at the 182nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
A conviction pick on Jordan Magee at No. 229 that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
