Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Maye is the Patriots' new face under center. Grade: A-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Drake Maye is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Hadden value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Kamara reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 8th pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at Round 2, Pick 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Good price on Kamari Lassiter in pick 48, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A slide stopped in slot 74, with Kingsley Suamataia worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 109th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137 Rnd5 Josh Newton
They let Josh Newton come to them and pounced at No. 137. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick180 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in pick No. 180 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick191 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
Daijun Edwards in No. 191 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Taking Kamal Hadden in slot 193 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick231 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
No drama and no debate, Frank Gore Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
