Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

TradesA+
FutureA+
Quarterback settled, Daniels in the fold, and a A- for the Patriots. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Oladapo to cover a lot of smaller sins.
They will need Paul to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jayden Daniels and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In pick 8 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at Round 2, Pick 2 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick43
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
They went early on Ja'Lynn Polk in pick No. 43, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68
Rnd3
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the tight end. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the 103rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139
Rnd5
Kris Abrams-Draine
Steal is underselling it; Kris Abrams-Draine at the 139th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick182
Rnd6
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in slot 182 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224
Rnd7
Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin at No. 224 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
