Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Patriots found their guy under center in Maye: A-.

The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That Amegadjie pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They are betting Milton III proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Drake Maye and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu slid further than he should have, and the 34th overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in pick 66 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
A quiet steal in No. 71: Devontez Walker for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Circle this one: Kiran Amegadjie at Round 3, Pick 25 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in slot 92. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
They paid up for Mekhi Wingo at the 97th pick when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 105, where Dominick Puni graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson is a better player than pick 137 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They let Jarrian Jones come to them and pounced at the 163rd overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Good price on Kamal Hadden in slot 171, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick178 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They talked themselves into Joe Milton III at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
They barely believed it either: Grayson Murphy still on the board at Round 6, Pick 7. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in No. 229 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
They jumped the gun on Jawhar Jordan, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
