Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a B-, for the Patriots.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Getting Greenfield where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They paid sticker price for Jordan Morgan in slot 34, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick No. 68 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A clean, defensible pick in the 103rd overall pick with a little surplus value in Brenden Rice. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They took Jarrian Jones at par in the 137th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where Kamal Hadden graded well above the range. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at No. 193 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick231 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
They let Garret Greenfield come to them and pounced at pick 231. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
