Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Daniels is the Patriots' new face under center. Grade: A-.

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. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

The Jones pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 5th overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
No edge and no loss on Xavier Legette in the 34th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in pick 68, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick115 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni is a better player than Round 4, Pick 15 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A straight-up fair deal on Kamal Hadden at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick182 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at No. 182 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Christian Jones
The board fumbled Christian Jones all the way to slot 224, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan slipping to pick No. 232 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
