NE4EVER DRAFTING FOR THEPatriots
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall

FutureB-
The Patriots found their guy under center in Maye: B-. The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Melton. They will need Eboigbe to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Drake Maye
No edge and no loss on Drake Maye in the 3rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick34
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
They took Ja'Tavion Sanders at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in Round 3, Pick 4 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104
Rnd4
Max Melton
A quiet steal in the 104th overall pick: Max Melton for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick136
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
They jumped the gun on Justin Eboigbe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
A tidy little value on Jha'Quan Jackson in No. 182, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229
Rnd7
Austin Reed
No drama and no debate, Austin Reed went about where he belonged in pick No. 229. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
