Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Patriots drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: B+.

The search is over. The Patriots handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Ulofoshio falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In slot 5 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at pick No. 35 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick37 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Adonai Mitchell in No. 37. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell slid further than he should have, and the 68th overall pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
Nothing to complain about; T'Vondre Sweat went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 77th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick137 Rnd5 Erick All
Value with a capital V on Erick All in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Beau Brade
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Beau Brade in pick 180, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick 193 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
Nice patience on Jaylan Ford, who had no business lasting to pick No. 226. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 231st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
