Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Daniels is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a B-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jackson. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Paul left real value on the table behind him.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 5 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick37 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They paid up for Xavier Legette at Round 2, Pick 5 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
A clean, defensible pick in slot 68 with a little surplus value in Kiran Amegadjie. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
The board had cheaper options than Patrick Paul at pick 69, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick137 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Taking Khyree Jackson in the 137th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Travis at No. 180, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at the 193rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means at the Round 7 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
