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

Start where it matters. The Patriots took Drake Maye to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

Fashanu falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In No. 9 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu at Round 2, Pick 2 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Nothing to complain about; Patrick Paul went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at the 91st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in the 115th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in slot 137 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
A straight-up fair deal on Jamari Thrash at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Steal is underselling it; Jaylin Simpson at pick 180 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at No. 193 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Bub Means
They did well to land Bub Means in pick No. 231, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
