Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureB+
A franchise passer in Maye headlines a B- weekend for the Patriots.

Call it larceny. Chau Smith-Wade sat on the board until No. 232, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice.

Drake Maye is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. Paul has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick No. 7 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They paid a round early for Patrick Paul in slot 34, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton in the 68th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Value with a capital V on Ja'Lynn Polk in slot 69, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
They robbed the room for Christian Mahogany here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They took Khyree Jackson at par in pick 105, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick139 Rnd5 Beaux Limmer
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Beaux Limmer. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 Cedric Johnson
They will replay Cedric Johnson at the 182nd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at Round 7, Pick 4 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Chau Smith-Wade
Steal is underselling it; Chau Smith-Wade at the 232nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
