Overall B-

ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-

Quarterback settled, Maye in the fold, and a B- for the Patriots.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Patriots committed. Drake Maye is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Reaching for Jackson left real value on the table behind him. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye

In the 3rd pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.

Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton

They paid sticker price for Tyler Guyton in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.

Pick68 Rnd3 D.J. James

D.J. James at the 68th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.

Pick103 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara

A premium they did not need to pay, Mohamed Kamara a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.

Pick139 Rnd5 Dallin Holker

No edge and no loss on Dallin Holker in pick No. 139; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
