Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Maye is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a A-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Demani Richardson in pick No. 231, a good 83 spots before the room expected him.

They have staked the next five years on Drake Maye, which is the only story that really matters here. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 4th pick they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
They let Amarius Mims come to them and pounced at pick 34. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Fair-plus on Bralen Trice, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
They paid sticker price for Devontez Walker in No. 71, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Khyree Jackson at Round 4, Pick 3. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick137 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Nice patience on Johnny Wilson, who had no business lasting to the 137th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Good price on Cody Schrader in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at the 193rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Demani Richardson well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
