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

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Dwight McGlothern, the No. 161 name on the board, stolen at the 231st pick. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In slot 6 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Adonai Mitchell in Round 2, Pick 2. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey in the 37th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick64 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
By-the-book stuff, Patrick Paul at pick No. 64 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
No drama and no debate, Ruke Orhorhoro went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 4. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in the 69th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick95 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A conviction pick on Braelon Allen at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Good price on Christian Mahogany in No. 103, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
A straight-up fair deal on Anthony Gould at slot 137, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha slipping to pick 180 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They paid up for Jared Wiley at No. 193 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They will replay Dwight McGlothern at pick 231 for years; that is how good the value is. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick252 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in Round 7, Pick 32 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
