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

The Patriots spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

Thrash has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Oladapo value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A tidy little value on Troy Fautanu in the 34th pick, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at slot 68 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at No. 104 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
A straight-up fair deal on Jaheim Bell at the 136th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Nice patience on Kitan Oladapo, who had no business lasting to pick No. 182. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229 Rnd7 Blake Watson
They went early on Blake Watson in pick 229, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
