Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a A- to match.

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. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

The Simpson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jayden Daniels and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In slot 9 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 23 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brian Thomas Jr. at the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick84 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They robbed the room for Payton Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick103 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in Round 4, Pick 3 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick119 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the 119th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
They took Tip Reiman at par in pick 177, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
The board fumbled Jaylin Simpson all the way to the 180th pick, and they scooped it up. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
A slide stopped in pick No. 193, with Isaiah Williams worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Value with a capital V on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 230th overall pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl in Round 7, Pick 11 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
