Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

FutureA+
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. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Reaching for Cole left real value on the table behind him. The Elliss pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
The Kaden Elliss pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
Jayden Daniels at pick No. 8 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick34
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
No drama and no debate, Xavier Legette went about where he belonged in No. 34. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick38
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
A straight-up fair deal on Keon Coleman at the 38th pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in the 68th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71
Rnd3
Ruke Orhorhoro
Good price on Ruke Orhorhoro in slot 71, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102
Rnd4
Jonah Elliss
Nice patience on Jonah Elliss, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 2. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
They took Braelon Allen at par in pick 103, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
They went early on Blake Fisher in the 109th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
They paid sticker price for Theo Johnson in Round 4, Pick 26, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick137
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They jumped the gun on Luke McCaffrey, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176
Rnd6
Myles Cole
Value said wait; Myles Cole in pick No. 176 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at No. 246 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
