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

The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Jones at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 3rd overall pick they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A tidy little value on Adonai Mitchell in Round 2, Pick 2, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
They did well to land Kingsley Suamataia in slot 68, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Nothing to complain about; Jalen McMillan went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in pick 137 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick180 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
No edge and no loss on Tip Reiman in the 180th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in pick No. 193 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
A quiet steal in No. 231: Sheridan Jones for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
