Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Patriots answered their biggest question with Maye. Grade: A-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Drake Maye is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jones. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Harrell left real value on the table behind him.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In No. 6 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at pick No. 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick64 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
No drama and no debate, Adisa Isaac went about where he belonged in the 64th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in the 68th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Payton Wilson. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick115 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson slipping to pick 115 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Travis at Round 4, Pick 32, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at slot 139 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They robbed the room for Jarrian Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A conviction pick on Jaylen Harrell at the 182nd pick that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A reach for Matthew Jones in pick No. 224; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick251 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in slot 251 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
