Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Daniels is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a B-.

Start where it matters. The Patriots took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

Coker has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They banked enough surplus on Newton to cover a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 3rd overall pick they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
No edge and no loss on Keon Coleman in slot 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A straight-up fair deal on Patrick Paul at Round 3, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in the 104th pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136 Rnd4 Josh Newton
The board had Josh Newton higher than pick 136, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
They took Jordan Jefferson at par in No. 182, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Coker this early at the Round 7 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
