Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureA
The Patriots bet the future on Maye. The board says B+.

The Patriots spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jaylen Wright, the No. 163 name on the board, in slot 229.

So much rides on Drake Maye that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 7th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in pick No. 34 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Guyton at Round 2, Pick 6 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They will replay Brenden Rice at pick No. 88 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Good price on Michael Hall Jr. in pick 91, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sataoa Laumea. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They did well to land Javon Foster in the 136th pick, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick182 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
Nice patience on LaDarius Henderson, who had no business lasting to slot 182. It fills a real need, too.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the 229th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
