Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Patriots bet the future on Maye. The board says B-.

Start where it matters. The Patriots took Drake Maye to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

The Jackson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Reaching for Holker left real value on the table behind him.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 3 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kiran Amegadjie. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the 68th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in the 82nd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
A real head-scratcher, Dallin Holker in No. 113 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick136 Rnd4 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick147 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Tykee Smith at pick No. 147, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick182 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 7, with Luke McCaffrey worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
They barely believed it either: Jha'Quan Jackson still on the board at the 229th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
