Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Patriots left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

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. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will need Harrell to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Melton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu slipping to No. 34 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in Round 3, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Max Melton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Max Melton at pick 104. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick136 Rnd4 Fabien Lovett
They paid up for Fabien Lovett at pick No. 136 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Harrell well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at the 229th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
