Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a A- weekend for the Patriots.

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. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Spending an early pick on TE-EDGE with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

On value alone, Gore Jr. makes the weekend a net positive.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
A quiet steal in the 34th pick: Amarius Mims for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
No edge and no loss on Javon Bullard in the 68th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cade Stover
A curious use of pick No. 103. Edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a TE-EDGE in Cade Stover did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
The board had Cedric Gray higher than slot 139, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick182 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Frank Gore Jr. in No. 182. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin in Round 7, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
