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

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop.

The Bullard pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 6th pick they get a franchise quarterback at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick47 Rnd2 Graham Barton
By-the-book stuff, Graham Barton at the 47th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 68 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at Round 4, Pick 4 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Taking Khyree Jackson in pick No. 136 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in slot 146 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Blake Watson
The board had cheaper options than Blake Watson at No. 229, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
