Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

Maye is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a A. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. They executed a plan and it shows in the A.
The Burton steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
The cost of the McLachlan reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Drake Maye and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick25
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the 25th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
They did well to land Brian Thomas Jr. in slot 34, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick52
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Troy Franklin in No. 52, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
Steal is underselling it; Jermaine Burton at pick 84 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129
Rnd4
Max Melton
Taking Max Melton in the 129th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick139
Rnd5
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at pick No. 139 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in the 142nd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick158
Rnd5
Will Shipley
Will Shipley at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160
Rnd5
Cam Hart
Cam Hart in slot 160 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick182
Rnd6
Braelon Allen
They barely believed it either: Braelon Allen still on the board at pick 182. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick199
Rnd6
Christian Jones
They paid sticker price for Christian Jones in pick No. 199, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230
Rnd7
Jase McClellan
A quiet steal in the 230th pick: Jase McClellan for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232
Rnd7
Darius Muasau
They let Darius Muasau come to them and pounced at No. 232. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick242
Rnd7
Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at Round 7, Pick 22 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246
Rnd7
Jontrey Hunter
They will replay Jontrey Hunter at slot 246 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
