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

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. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They are betting Jordan proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick 6 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu slipping to slot 34 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Good price on Ladd McConkey in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A tidy little value on Jordan Morgan in No. 39, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 71st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus in pick No. 88 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 28 with a little surplus value in Cade Stover. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at the 116th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
A reach on Jarrian Jones in slot 136; the board had better options right there. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick182 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick 182 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jawhar Jordan this early at the Round 7 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
