Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Patriots found their guy under center in Maye: B.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Johnson. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

If Clark pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 3 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at pick No. 34 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
You do not let an offensive lineman like Patrick Paul reach the 68th overall pick and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 115 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in the 139th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A premium they did not need to pay, De'Corian Clark a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
Isaiah Neyor in Round 7, Pick 4 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
