Draft Grade — Patriots

FutureA+
Maye is the Patriots' new face under center. Grade: A-. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
Every board in the league had Liufau lower, and that gap is the story. Landing McGlothern that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. The Solomon pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at safety.
Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In pick No. 9 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Nice patience on Kool-Aid McKinstry, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick34
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at the 34th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick52
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
They went early on Kingsley Suamataia in the 52nd pick, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick59
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in slot 59 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick60
Rnd2
Devontez Walker
They paid a round early for Devontez Walker in No. 60, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
They let Jonah Elliss come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 36. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103
Rnd4
Maason Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Maason Smith at pick 103, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in slot 105 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick107
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Safety needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
Pick122
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
They liked Mohamed Kamara enough to skip the value, taking him in the 122nd pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in Round 4, Pick 23 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 137th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
A real head-scratcher, Marist Liufau in pick 141 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tip Reiman
No edge and no loss on Tip Reiman in pick No. 180; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick183
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in No. 183 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
