Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a B+, for the Patriots.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Patriots spent their marquee pick on Jayden Daniels, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will need Amegadjie to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Cypress II steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 7 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
No edge and no loss on Ladd McConkey in pick 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
A reach on Kiran Amegadjie in the 40th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at pick No. 43 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in Round 3, Pick 4 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They liked Sedrick Van Pran enough to skip the value, taking him in the 80th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
A premium they did not need to pay, Dylan Laube a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at Round 6, Pick 7 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
They let Fentrell Cypress II come to them and pounced at No. 224. It adds depth where they could use a little.
