Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Maye is the plan now, and the Patriots grade out a B-.

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

They will need Jackson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

However the rest shakes out, Jones at that price is a win they earned.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick No. 3 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
No drama and no debate, Kiran Amegadjie went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
They liked Malachi Corley enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 68. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in the 104th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cedric Gray this early at the 117th overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones slipping to Round 4, Pick 36 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at pick 182 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick235 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
A real head-scratcher, J.J. Weaver in No. 235 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Value with a capital V on Sheridan Jones in pick 252, a genuine coup. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
