Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Maye is the Patriots' new face under center. Grade: B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Patriots' quarterback, full stop. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Wright reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Carson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 3 they get the arm they will build around at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They went early on Patrick Paul in No. 34, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A reach for Roman Wilson in pick No. 68; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
A real head-scratcher, Jaylen Wright in slot 136 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing LaDarius Henderson in Round 6, Pick 7. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jalen Green
They took Jalen Green at par in the 229th pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
