Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B+.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

Gore Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

However the rest shakes out, Colby at that price is a win they earned. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 4th overall pick they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in pick No. 34 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick37 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They took Troy Fautanu at par in slot 37, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
No edge and no loss on Ja'Lynn Polk in No. 66; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 68 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick102 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 2, with Christian Mahogany worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy slipping to the 139th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Taking Connor Colby in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 223 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
