Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A passer of the future in Maye, and a C-, for the Patriots.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development. A mixed bag that lands at C-.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Henderson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They banked enough surplus on McCaffrey to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 3rd pick they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They read the board right and Troy Fautanu was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They took Xavier Legette at par in the 68th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Fair-plus on Khyree Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick120 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at Round 4, Pick 20 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
A slide stopped in No. 179, with Luke McCaffrey worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
A premium they did not need to pay, LaDarius Henderson a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
